Die Arbeit Birds in Yellow and Blue No.4 (unframed) von Quentin Blake wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Quentin Blake Draws Hope for Ukraine bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 4.800,00 (€ 5.646,74) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 60%.
