In May 2004 Christies in London held the auction Irish and 20th Century British Art, which included the work The Four Courts and Liffey, Dublin by Martin Mooney. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,107.00 (€ 4,661.64), 73% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Martin Mooney - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Santa Maria della Salute from the Redentore, Venice, which sold at auction in May 2008 for GBP 11,875.00 (€ 15,105.52).

Für andere Arbeiten von Martin Mooney mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Santa Maria della Salute from the Redentore, Venice beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für GBP 11.875,00 (€ 15.105,52) versteigert wurde.
