In November 2006 Christies in London held the auction The Poetry of Crisis; The Peter Nahum Collection of British Surrealist and Avant-Garde Art 1930-1951, which included the work Woman By The Sea by Elisabeth Collins. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,320.00 (€ 1,960.24), 65% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Elisabeth Collins; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A Woman Reading In A Pond sold at auction in November 2006 with the realized price of GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,316.65).
