A top price for David Oxtoby
In June 2007 Christies in London held the auction 20th Century British Art, which included the work Ray Charles Blowing the Bagpipes by David Oxtoby. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,600.00 (€ 5,342.22), 20% above the upper estimate. With this result, Ray Charles Blowing the Bagpipes is even the most expensive work of art by David Oxtoby that we have observed at auctions so far.
