In October last year Christies in London held the auction 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale, which included the work The Adoration of the Cage Fighters (from The Vanity of Small Differences) by Grayson Perry. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 176,400.00 (€ 205,504.05), 47% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Grayson Perry - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work I Want To Be An Artist, which sold at auction in October 2017 for GBP 632,750.00 (€ 721,458.86).

Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Adoration of the Cage Fighters (from The Vanity of Small Differences) von Grayson Perry zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 176.400,00 (€ 205.504,05) und damit 47% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Grayson Perry mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit I Want To Be An Artist beobachtet, die im Oktober 2017 für GBP 632.750,00 (€ 721.458,86) versteigert wurde.
