Auction result well in line with expectations
In September last year Bonhams in London held the auction Travel & Exploration, which included the work A busy market scene near Huatusco Veracruz, Mexico by Johann-Salomon Hegi. The price achieved of GBP 1,020.00 (€ 1,160.86) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by Johann-Salomon Hegi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Veracruz in May 2005 with an auction result of USD 10,800.00 (€ 8,745.65).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Travel & Exploration durch, in der auch die Arbeit A busy market scene near Huatusco Veracruz, Mexico von Johann-Salomon Hegi zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.020,00 (€ 1.160,86) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Johann-Salomon Hegi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Veracruz im Mai 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 10.800,00 (€ 8.745,65).
