This artwork by John Alexander achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2009. In the The Country House Sale - Property of the 14th Earl of Kintore & The Collection of the Late Bernard Lyons, C.B.E. auction, the work Portrait of Lady Jean Keith, half-length, in a pink dress and green wrap, in a feigned oval sold for GBP 2,125.00 (€ 2,291.49) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Alexander achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Good Fences Make Good Neighbors in October 2018 with an auction result of USD 60,000.00 (€ 52,947.41).

Dieses Kunstwerk von John Alexander erzielte im März 2009 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Country House Sale - Property of the 14th Earl of Kintore & The Collection of the Late Bernard Lyons, C.B.E. wurde die Arbeit Portrait of Lady Jean Keith, half-length, in a pink dress and green wrap, in a feigned oval für GBP 2.125,00 (€ 2.291,49) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.200,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Alexander erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Good Fences Make Good Neighbors im Oktober 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 60.000,00 (€ 52.947,41).
