When the work The Shed, Chelsea Football Ground by Jim Page-Roberts was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over.

This high result makes The Shed, Chelsea Football Ground the most expensive artwork by Jim Page-Roberts that we have observed at auctions so far.
