Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.607,60) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Carlyle Brown auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Adam and Eve im Dezember 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 9.375,00 (€ 10.960,90).
