A top price for Guy Johnson
When the work California Moon by Guy Johnson was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 6,875.00 (€ 8,565.95). This high result makes California Moon the most expensive artwork by Guy Johnson that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Guy Johnson
Als die Arbeit California Moon von Guy Johnson im Mai 2012 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 6.875,00 (€ 8.565,95) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht California Moon zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Guy Johnson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
