In October 2019 Christies in London held the auction Thinking Italian Evening Auction, which included the work Torsione by Giovanni Anselmo. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,811,250.00 (€ 2,100,920.10), 51% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giovanni Anselmo - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Torsione, which sold at auction in May 2015 for USD 6,437,000.00 (€ 5,855,011.82).
