A top price for Ernest Shepard
In December 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction The Art of Illustration - From the Collection of Michael Winner, which included the work "Here Is Edward Bear, Coming Downstairs Now, Bump, Bump, Bump, On The Back Of His Head, Behind Christopher Robin." by Ernest Shepard. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 139,250.00 (€ 171,733.92), 39% above the upper estimate. With this result, "Here Is Edward Bear, Coming Downstairs Now, Bump, Bump, Bump, On The Back Of His Head, Behind Christopher Robin." is even the most expensive work of art by Ernest Shepard that we have observed at auctions so far.
