In November 2012 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Ewe; Ram by Olivia Musgrave. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,387.72), 38% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Olivia Musgrave - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Conversation, which sold at auction in October 2007 for GBP 5,625.00 (€ 8,077.87).

Im November 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ewe; Ram von Olivia Musgrave zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.387,72) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Olivia Musgrave mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Conversation beobachtet, die im Oktober 2007 für GBP 5.625,00 (€ 8.077,87) versteigert wurde.
