The work Harlequins by George Bissill was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2002. It achieved a price of GBP 822.50 (€ 1,272.22), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 37%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Bissill - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Coal Miner, which sold at auction in October 2007 for GBP 3,000.00 (€ 4,308.20).
