The work Design For Lorry Bill For Shell B.P.: Alfriston by Vanessa Bell was sold in the 20TH CENTURY BRITISH & IRISH ART auction at Christies in London in November 2004. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 11,352.50 (€ 16,330.51), 42% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Vanessa Bell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Autumn Bouquet in March 2021 with an auction result of GBP 256,250.00 (€ 301,027.74).
