This artwork by John Christopherson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2007. In the British, Continental & Russian Pictures auction, the work Domed City; Burnt Out Stars; Icon; And Abstract Composition sold for GBP 1,062.50 (€ 1,443.76) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 600.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Christopherson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Moonlit Grove 2 55 x 43cm (21 5/8 x 16 15/16in) unframed, which sold at auction in April this year for GBP 3,187.50 (€ 3,632.71).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 77 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Christopherson erzielte im Dezember 2007 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British, Continental & Russian Pictures wurde die Arbeit Domed City; Burnt Out Stars; Icon; And Abstract Composition für GBP 1.062,50 (€ 1.443,76) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 600,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Christopherson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Moonlit Grove 2 55 x 43cm (21 5/8 x 16 15/16in) unframed beobachtet, die im April diesen Jahres für GBP 3.187,50 (€ 3.632,71) versteigert wurde.
