In July 2020 Christies in London held the auction The World Is A Sphere: Art from the Faurschou Foundation, which included the work Kiss My Gilded Mother Fucking Finger by Toland Grinnell. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,230.85), 67% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Toland Grinnell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work TG Portable Card Table & Chairs (Louis Vuitton Monogram), which sold at auction in July 2010 for USD 8,125.00 (€ 6,217.00).

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.000,00 (€ 2.230,85) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Toland Grinnell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit TG Portable Card Table & Chairs (Louis Vuitton Monogram) beobachtet, die im Juli 2010 für USD 8.125,00 (€ 6.217,00) versteigert wurde.
