In May 2015 Christies in New York held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale Session II, which included the work Drawing for Good Painting by Ashley Bickerton. The »bidding war« ended at USD 25,000.00 (€ 22,739.68), 25% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Ashley Bickerton have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Seascape: Floating Costume to Drift for Eternity II in November 2013 with an auction result of USD 221,000.00 (€ 162,428.34).
