Upper estimate price exceeded by 72 %.
In December 2007 Christies in London held the auction British, Continental & Russian Pictures, which included the work Point Hill; October Moon; Excavated City; And Landscape With Flowering Base by John Christopherson. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,868.39), 72% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by John Christopherson; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Moonlit Grove 2 55 x 43cm (21 5/8 x 16 15/16in) unframed sold at auction in April this year with the realized price of GBP 3,187.50 (€ 3,632.71).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 72 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion British, Continental & Russian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Point Hill; October Moon; Excavated City; And Landscape With Flowering Base von John Christopherson zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.868,39) und damit 72% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von John Christopherson; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Moonlit Grove 2 55 x 43cm (21 5/8 x 16 15/16in) unframed im April diesen Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 3.187,50 (€ 3.632,71).
