Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Harvest by John Bowman was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 3,000.00 (€ 2,695.42). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Bowman - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The bridge at Staithes, which sold at auction in April 2007 for GBP 4,800.00 (€ 7,027.82).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Harvest von John Bowman im Juli 2019 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 3.000,00 (€ 2.695,42) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von John Bowman mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The bridge at Staithes beobachtet, die im April 2007 für GBP 4.800,00 (€ 7.027,82) versteigert wurde.
