In October last year Christies in London held the auction Modern British & Irish Art Evening Sale, which included the work Frying Pan - Still Life, 1947 by William Scott. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 756,000.00 (€ 880,731.63), 51% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by William Scott; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Bowl, Eggs and Lemons sold at auction in June 2008 with the realized price of GBP 1,071,650.00 (€ 1,354,601.53).
