Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
In June last year Sothebys in London held the auction Modern British Day Auction, which included the work Begonia by Augustus John. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 20,160.00 (€ 23,420.19), 68% 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern British Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Begonia von Augustus John zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 20.160,00 (€ 23.420,19) und damit 68% 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).
