Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The schoolmaster's visit by John Burr was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2001. The price achieved of GBP 2,350.00 (€ 3,791.96) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Burr achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Peepshow in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 41,825.00 (€ 61,063.18).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The schoolmaster's visit von John Burr kam im März 2001 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.350,00 (€ 3.791,96) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Burr erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Peepshow im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 41.825,00 (€ 61.063,18).
