This artwork by Frederick Leslie Kenett achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2015. In the Modern British & Irish Art auction, the work Shell sold for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 5,316.24) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Frederick Leslie Kenett; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Torso sold at auction in March 2015 with the realized price of GBP 6,875.00 (€ 9,505.05).
