Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Unknown by James Nixon was sold in the Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu, Icons, Russian and auction at Christies in London in December 2003. The price achieved of GBP 705.00 (€ 998.54) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 600.00 – 900.00. Admittedly, works by James Nixon have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A young gentleman, facing right in blue coat with black collar and gold buttons, yellow waistcoat and frilled cravat, powdered hair en queue in April 2002 with an auction result of GBP 4,935.00 (€ 7,984.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
