Upper estimate price exceeded by 64 %.
In April last year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work Sunflower by John Bratby. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 11,475.00 (€ 13,683.53), 64% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Bratby - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still Life With Oranges, which sold at auction in June 2017 for GBP 35,000.00 (€ 39,858.47).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 64 % übertroffen
Im April letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sunflower von John Bratby zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 11.475,00 (€ 13.683,53) und damit 64% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von John Bratby mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Still Life With Oranges beobachtet, die im Juni 2017 für GBP 35.000,00 (€ 39.858,47) versteigert wurde.
