The work Gourds on a Cloth by William Brooker was sold in the Modern British Art Day Sale auction at Christies in London in November 2018. It achieved a price of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 22,559.39), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 67%. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by William Brooker; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot White Still Life sold at auction in June 2018 with the realized price of GBP 33,750.00 (€ 38,143.25).
