The work Playing at school by Harry Brooker was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2015. It achieved a price of GBP 9,000.00 (€ 12,442.98), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 29%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Harry Brooker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Critical Moment (A House of Cards), which sold at auction in February 2003 for GBP 32,265.00 (€ 47,105.88).
