In June 2019 Christies in London held the auction Modern British Art Day Sale, which included the work Abstract Masks; diptych by John Banting. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,267.41), 35% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Banting - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work For Social Service, which sold at auction in September 2012 for GBP 31,250.00 (€ 39,213.21).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen

Im Juni 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern British Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Abstract Masks; diptych von John Banting zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 16.250,00 (€ 18.267,41) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von John Banting mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit For Social Service beobachtet, die im September 2012 für GBP 31.250,00 (€ 39.213,21) versteigert wurde.
