Auction result well in line with expectations
The work An Eastern Question by John Adam Houston was sold in the 19TH CENTURY EUROPEAN ART auction at Christies in London in March 2004. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,346.00 (€ 5,008.66) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Adam Houston achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sheikh in June 2020 with an auction result of GBP 68,750.00 (€ 75,716.21).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit An Eastern Question von John Adam Houston wurde im März 2004 in der Auktion 19TH CENTURY EUROPEAN ART bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.346,00 (€ 5.008,66) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Adam Houston erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Sheikh im Juni 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 68.750,00 (€ 75.716,21).
