A top price for John Cecil Stephenson
When the work Bright Triangles by John Cecil Stephenson was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 47,500.00 (€ 55,776.61). This high result makes Bright Triangles the most expensive artwork by John Cecil Stephenson that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für John Cecil Stephenson
Als die Arbeit Bright Triangles von John Cecil Stephenson im November 2019 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 47.500,00 (€ 55.776,61) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Bright Triangles zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von John Cecil Stephenson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
