The work One Up Two Down by Derek Fordjour was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2020. It achieved a price of USD 250,000.00 (€ 222,598.17), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 67%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Derek Fordjour - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ornithologist, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 945,000.00 (€ 880,626.22).
