Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Fool by John Boyd was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2006. The price achieved of GBP 2,280.00 (€ 3,383.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Admittedly, works by John Boyd have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Café, Fes in November 2001 with an auction result of GBP 10,575.00 (€ 16,828.16).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Fool von John Boyd kam im Dezember 2006 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.280,00 (€ 3.383,81) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Boyd auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Café, Fes im November 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 10.575,00 (€ 16.828,16).
