Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Ghoulish nightmare by Ralph Steadman was sold in the British and Continental Watercolours and Oriental auction at Christies in London in December 2005. The result of GBP 600.00 (€ 870.87) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 600.00 – 900.00. Admittedly, works by Ralph Steadman have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Hunger in March 2018 with an auction result of GBP 4,375.00 (€ 4,981.18).
