In November 2020 Bonhams in London held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work Aunt Edith was Sixteen and Wept for Love by Helen Bradley. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 31,500.00 (€ 35,164.63), 58% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Helen Bradley have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Oh it's the King and Queen in April 2019 with an auction result of GBP 162,500.00 (€ 189,034.46).

Im November 2020 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Aunt Edith was Sixteen and Wept for Love von Helen Bradley zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 31.500,00 (€ 35.164,63) und damit 58% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Helen Bradley auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Oh it's the King and Queen im April 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 162.500,00 (€ 189.034,46).
