Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.
In November this year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work The Salute Looking Towards the Lagoon, Venice by John Piper. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,320.00 (€ 9,641.07), 39% above the upper estimate. 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 39 % übertroffen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Salute Looking Towards the Lagoon, Venice von John Piper zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 8.320,00 (€ 9.641,07) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
