Upper estimate price exceeded by 62 %.
The work The lake by John Armstrong was auctioned at Bonhams in London in March last year. It achieved a price of GBP 4,845.00 (€ 5,744.29), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 62%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Armstrong achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Initial Study For The Poster 'Can Spring Be Far Behind' in April 2014 with an auction result of GBP 74,500.00 (€ 90,683.74).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 62 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit The lake von John Armstrong kam im März letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 4.845,00 (€ 5.744,29) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 62%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Armstrong erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Initial Study For The Poster 'Can Spring Be Far Behind' im April 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 74.500,00 (€ 90.683,74).
