Upper estimate price exceeded by 59 %.
In November last year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work Two Women in a Mediterranean Landscape 40.6 x 32.3 cm. (16 x 12 5/8 in.) by Augustus John. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 31,800.00 (€ 36,848.94), 59% above the upper estimate. 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).

Im November letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Two Women in a Mediterranean Landscape 40.6 x 32.3 cm. (16 x 12 5/8 in.) von Augustus John zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 31.800,00 (€ 36.848,94) und damit 59% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
