Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Great Risks For Small Gains by John George Brown was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2019. The price achieved of USD 375,000.00 (€ 340,321.26) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John George Brown - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Thrilling Moment, which sold at auction in January this year for USD 819,000.00 (€ 754,282.56).
