This artwork by James Tower achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in September 2019. In the Made in Britain auction, the work Greenish Black & White Bowl sold for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 11,989.05) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Tower - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ribbed Chest Form, which sold at auction in September 2018 for GBP 23,750.00 (€ 26,674.30).
