Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Child Posing (Marie Hamonet) by Gwen John was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2020. It achieved a price of GBP 9,450.00 (€ 10,549.39), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Child Posing (Marie Hamonet) von Gwen John kam im November 2020 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 9.450,00 (€ 10.549,39) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 18%. 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).
