The work Muldoon and the nets by James Dixon was sold in the 20th Century British Art auction at Christies in London in December 2010. It achieved a price of GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,974.98), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 38%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Dixon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Self Portrait, which sold at auction in May 2001 for GBP 11,750.00 (€ 19,699.14).
