A top price for Jack Bilbo - as previously expected
The work The Question (Mobile II) by Jack Bilbo was sold in the The Poetry of Crisis; The Peter Nahum Collection of British Surrealist and Avant-Garde Art 1930-1951 auction 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 Question (Mobile II) is the most expensive artwork by Jack Bilbo that we have observed at auctions so far.

Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Question (Mobile II) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Jack Bilbo, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
