The work A View Of Briggate, Leeds, At Night by Louis Grimshaw was sold in the Victorian Pictures auction at Christies in London in June 2001. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 49,350.00 (€ 81,980.17), 65% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Louis Grimshaw; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Royal Mile, Edinburgh: the approach to Holyrood Palace sold at auction in June 2004 with the realized price of GBP 60,945.00 (€ 90,704.41).
