One of his better ones, IMO. Be quite interesting to see if it gets that estimate since a quick scan of the other works in the auction shows a great number of them in the sub ยฃ500 category.

Does anyone know what it was sold for at Scion? I actually placed a bit on it but took it back.
Seems like a high estimate....
