This artwork by John Constable achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2020. In the Old Masters Evening Sale auction, the work The Old Mill Shed, Dedham sold for GBP 262,500.00 (€ 293,235.90) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 150,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Constable achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work View on the Stour near Dedham, full-scale sketch in June 2016 with an auction result of GBP 14,082,500.00 (€ 16,903,595.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Constable erzielte im Dezember 2020 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale wurde die Arbeit The Old Mill Shed, Dedham für GBP 262.500,00 (€ 293.235,90) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 150.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Constable erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit View on the Stour near Dedham, full-scale sketch im Juni 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 14.082.500,00 (€ 16.903.595,45).
