Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Portrait of Nellie by Augustus John was worth GBP 21,250.00 (€ 23,431.58) to a buyer in September 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Modern British Art at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Augustus John achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Head Of A Girl (Edie Mcneill) in March 2021 with an auction result of USD 487,500.00 (€ 415,140.94).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Portrait of Nellie von Augustus John war einem Käufer im September 2020 GBP 21.250,00 (€ 23.431,58) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Modern British Art bei Christies in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Augustus John erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Head Of A Girl (Edie Mcneill) im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 487.500,00 (€ 415.140,94).
