Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

When the work The Turkish Sultana's House At Fatehpur Sikri by John Murray was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 6,462.50 (€ 10,434.18). 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).

Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The Turkish Sultana's House At Fatehpur Sikri von John Murray im September 2001 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 6.462,50 (€ 10.434,18) mehr als viermal so hoch. 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.
