Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Under the Sea of Japan by John Wesley was worth USD 2,880.00 (€ 2,657.07) to a buyer in August this year. This price was achieved in the auction Prints & MultiplesSummer Splash at Bonhams in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 800.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Wesley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Plague in May 2008 with an auction result of USD 577,000.00 (€ 370,822.62).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Under the Sea of Japan von John Wesley war einem Käufer im August diesen Jahres USD 2.880,00 (€ 2.657,07) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Prints & MultiplesSummer Splash bei Bonhams in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 800,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Wesley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Plague im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 577.000,00 (€ 370.822,62).
