Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work By The Sea by John Banting was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 5,625.00 (€ 7,102.12). Admittedly, works by John Banting have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work For Social Service in September 2012 with an auction result of GBP 31,250.00 (€ 39,213.21).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit By The Sea von John Banting im März 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.625,00 (€ 7.102,12) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Banting auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit For Social Service im September 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 31.250,00 (€ 39.213,21).
