The »bidding war« ended at GBP 19,000.00 (€ 21,210.41), 27% above the upper estimate.

Im November 2020 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Rape of the Sabines von Ceri Richards zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 19.000,00 (€ 21.210,41) und damit 27% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ceri Richards auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Interior im Juni 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 175.000,00 (€ 199.292,35).
