In September 2001 Christies in London held the auction 19C INDIAN PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE KANWARDIP GUJRAL COLLECTION, which included the work The Banks of the Yamuna by John Murray. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,880.00 (€ 3,035.40), 25% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by John Murray have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Pavillion and Mosque Attached to the Taj in October 2017 with an auction result of USD 30,000.00 (€ 25,755.49).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im September 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19C INDIAN PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE KANWARDIP GUJRAL COLLECTION durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Banks of the Yamuna von John Murray zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.880,00 (€ 3.035,40) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Murray auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Pavillion and Mosque Attached to the Taj im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 30.000,00 (€ 25.755,49).
