A top price for Jack Bilbo - as previously expected
The work The Medium by Jack Bilbo was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2006. The price achieved of GBP 2,400.00 (€ 3,564.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Medium is the most expensive artwork by Jack Bilbo that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit The Medium von Jack Bilbo kam im November 2006 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.400,00 (€ 3.564,08) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Medium das teuerste Kunstwerk von Jack Bilbo, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
