In November 2010 Sothebys in London held the auction The Robert Devereux Collection of Post-War British Art in aid of the African Arts Trust, Sale 3, which included the work Preparing Food by Sigrid Holmwood. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,481.24), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sigrid Holmwood - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Church Boats, which sold at auction in March 2017 for GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,254.14).

Im November 2010 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion The Robert Devereux Collection of Post-War British Art in aid of the African Arts Trust, Sale 3 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Preparing Food von Sigrid Holmwood zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.481,24) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Sigrid Holmwood mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Church Boats beobachtet, die im März 2017 für GBP 8.750,00 (€ 10.254,14) versteigert wurde.
