The work The sleep of reason by Henry Stacy Marks was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2003. It achieved a price of GBP 763.75 (€ 998.27), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 27%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Stacy Marks achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Bookworm in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 44,650.00 (€ 70,775.75).

Die Arbeit The sleep of reason von Henry Stacy Marks kam im Juli 2003 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 763,75 (€ 998,27) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 27%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Stacy Marks erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Bookworm im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 44.650,00 (€ 70.775,75).
