In November 2004 Christies in London held the auction Important British Art, which included the work The Harbour Of Refuge by Frederick Walker. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 139,650.00 (€ 200,885.77), 40% above the upper estimate. With this result, The Harbour Of Refuge is even the most expensive work of art by Frederick Walker that we have observed at auctions so far.
