Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Self-Portrait by John Bratby was sold in the Made in Britain auction at Sothebys in London in March 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,125.00 (€ 1,270.36) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Bratby achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Still Life With Oranges in June 2017 with an auction result of GBP 35,000.00 (€ 39,858.47).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Self-Portrait von John Bratby wurde im März 2020 in der Auktion Made in Britain bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.125,00 (€ 1.270,36) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Bratby erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Still Life With Oranges im Juni 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 35.000,00 (€ 39.858,47).
