The work Praise I by Bridget Riley was sold in the 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale auction at Christies in London in October last year. It achieved a price of GBP 2,202,000.00 (€ 2,565,305.62), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 22%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bridget Riley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (Diagonal Curve), which sold at auction in June 2016 for GBP 4,338,500.00 (€ 5,207,615.75).
