In February 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Travel & Exploration, which included the work A patinated bronze of a native African man, modelled as a mask the forehead with scarification marks by Herbert Ward. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,837.50 (€ 12,499.02), 55% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Herbert Ward; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Charm Doctor Dancing sold at auction in July 2017 with the realized price of GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,132.50).
