In February 2006 Christies in New York held the auction Prints and Multiples, which included the work Westminster Bridge ou Westminster Clock Tower (B. 156) by Félix Buhot. The »bidding war« ended at USD 2,640.00 (€ 2,213.84), 32% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Félix Buhot have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Une Scène Nocturne Avec Le Boulevard Montmartre, la Taverne du Bagne Et la Ménagerie Pezon Au Fond in March 2005 with an auction result of EUR 10,200.00.
