Estimate: 1.500 - 2.000 GBP
Price realised: 1.880 GBP
John Blair (fl.1880-1920)

pencil and watercolour, heightened with touches of white
14¼ x 21¼ in. (36.2 x 54 cm.)

A top price for John Blair - as previously expected

In October 2000 Christies in London held the auction THE SCOTTISH SALE - EDINBURGH, which included the work East Sands, North Berwick by John Blair. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,880.00 (€ 3,213.46) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, East Sands, North Berwick is the most expensive artwork by John Blair that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im Oktober 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion THE SCOTTISH SALE - EDINBURGH durch, in der auch die Arbeit East Sands, North Berwick von John Blair zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.880,00 (€ 3.213,46) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist East Sands, North Berwick das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Blair, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
