The work Girl about to do a Handstand by Roger Mayne was sold in the PHOTOGRAPHS auction at Christies in London in May 2001. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,057.50 (€ 1,772.92), 18% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Roger Mayne - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Three Studies, 1950S, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,900.91).
