In April 2013 Christies in London held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art, which included the work Mirror Watercolour Xiii by Bob Law. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 11,250.00 (€ 13,275.65), 41% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Bob Law have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Nothing to be Afraid of V 16.7.69 in March this year with an auction result of GBP 101,100.00 (€ 115,020.78).

Im April 2013 führte Christies in London die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mirror Watercolour Xiii von Bob Law zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 11.250,00 (€ 13.275,65) und damit 41% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Bob Law auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Nothing to be Afraid of V 16.7.69 im März diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 101.100,00 (€ 115.020,78).
