The work The Sick Leaves by Cecily Brown was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2017. It achieved a price of GBP 1,805,000.00 (€ 2,115,281.83), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cecily Brown - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (The Beautiful and Damned), which sold at auction in May this year for USD 6,705,000.00 (€ 6,293,410.93).
