In November 2019 Christies in London held the auction Modern | British Art, which included the work Head of Darth Vader by Clive Barker. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,137.32), 46% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Clive Barker have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Coke with Two Straws in November 2018 with an auction result of GBP 43,750.00 (€ 49,348.67).

Im November 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern | British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Head of Darth Vader von Clive Barker zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.137,32) und damit 46% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Clive Barker auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Coke with Two Straws im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 43.750,00 (€ 49.348,67).
