A top price for Georg Janny - as previously expected
In July 2018 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European & Orientalist Art, which included the work An allegory of power by Georg Janny. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,015.25) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, An allegory of power is the most expensive artwork by Georg Janny that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European & Orientalist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit An allegory of power von Georg Janny zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.015,25) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist An allegory of power das teuerste Kunstwerk von Georg Janny, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
