The work The Chester Play of the Deluge: Five plates by David Jones was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2020. It achieved a price of GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,244.82), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by David Jones achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Crucifixion in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 93,750.00 (€ 110,615.78).
