Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2001 Christies in London held the auction 19C INDIAN PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE KANWARDIP GUJRAL COLLECTION, which included the work Street Scene, Muttra (Mathura) by John Murray. The price achieved of GBP 5,875.00 (€ 9,485.62) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Murray - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pavillion and Mosque Attached to the Taj, which sold at auction in October 2017 for USD 30,000.00 (€ 25,755.49).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19C INDIAN PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE KANWARDIP GUJRAL COLLECTION durch, in der auch die Arbeit Street Scene, Muttra (Mathura) von John Murray zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.875,00 (€ 9.485,62) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von John Murray mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pavillion and Mosque Attached to the Taj beobachtet, die im Oktober 2017 für USD 30.000,00 (€ 25.755,49) versteigert wurde.
