The work Still life of flowers by Dora Carrington was worth GBP 20,315.00 (€ 29,162.48) to a buyer in November 2003. This price was achieved in the auction 20th Century British Art including the Collection of the at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 many times over.
