Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by John Piper achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Los Angeles in July this year. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Muchelney sold for GBP 4,096.00 (€ 4,778.79) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Piper achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Abstract Painting, 1935 in November 2015 with an auction result of GBP 362,500.00 (€ 516,327.40).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Piper erzielte im Juli diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art wurde die Arbeit Muchelney für GBP 4.096,00 (€ 4.778,79) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Piper erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Abstract Painting, 1935 im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 362.500,00 (€ 516.327,40).
