Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Child and figures in church by Gwen John was auctioned at Bonhams in London in September this year. The price achieved of GBP 896.00 (€ 896.00) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gwen John achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Convalescent in July 2013 with an auction result of GBP 200,500.00 (€ 229,106.20).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Child and figures in church von Gwen John kam im September diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 896,00 (€ 896,00) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gwen John erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Convalescent im Juli 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 200.500,00 (€ 229.106,20).
