The work Thanks To The Underground by Zéró was sold in the Posters With A Purpose: The London Transport Museum Sale auction at Christies in London in October 2012. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,729.97), 50% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Zéró; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Underground Gets You There sold at auction in November 2010 with the realized price of GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,481.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
