This artwork by Oliver Messel achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2020. In the Snowdon: A Life in Art and Objects auction, the work 'Design for Salome' for C.B.Cochran's 1926 Revue sold for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 4,824.15) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,800.00. Admittedly, works by Oliver Messel have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of Mrs William "Babe" Paley (1915-1978) in September 2020 with an auction result of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 26,188.24).
