Im Dezember 2020 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Funghi No. 1 von Eliot Hodgkin zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 11.475,00 (€ 12.818,60) und damit 64% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Eliot Hodgkin auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Violets II im September 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 51.700,00 (€ 86.509,89).
