This artwork by Jeremy Deller achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in October 2015. In the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work I Love Melancholy sold for GBP 22,500.00 (€ 31,471.88) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jeremy Deller - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Uses of Literacy, which sold at auction in June 2008 for GBP 61,250.00 (€ 77,422.05).
