This artwork by Bill Woodrow achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2013. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art auction, the work Self Portrait, You are What You Eat sold for GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,712.18) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bill Woodrow - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Round the Kitchen Table, which sold at auction in September 2015 for USD 22,500.00 (€ 20,157.68).
