A top price for J. B. Murry - as previously expected
In January 2019 Christies in New York held the auction Outsider and Vernacular Art, which included the work Untitled, circa 1980 by J. B. Murry. It changed hands for a price of USD 2,750.00 (€ 2,400.91) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 1,500.00 – 3,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Untitled, circa 1980 is the most expensive artwork by J. B. Murry that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Januar 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Outsider and Vernacular Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled, circa 1980 von J. B. Murry zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 2.750,00 (€ 2.400,91) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.500,00 – 3.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Untitled, circa 1980 das teuerste Kunstwerk von J. B. Murry, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
