Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by John Bratby could be acquired at Bonhams in Los Angeles in July this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Sophia Brown in Blue Dress changed hands for GBP 1,408.00 (€ 1,642.71) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Bratby konnte im Juli diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art wechselte die Arbeit Sophia Brown in Blue Dress für GBP 1.408,00 (€ 1.642,71) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00. 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).
