Im November 2020 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion The Russian Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Exploding head von Ernst Neizvestny zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 8.925,00 (€ 9.963,31) und damit 28% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ernst Neizvestny auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Heads im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 42.500,00 (€ 59.511,00).
