A top price for John Copley - as previously expected
In November 2006 Christies in London held the auction The Poetry of Crisis; The Peter Nahum Collection of British Surrealist and Avant-Garde Art 1930-1951, which included the work Autumn Leaves by John Copley. The price achieved of GBP 3,600.00 (€ 5,346.11) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Autumn Leaves is the most expensive artwork by John Copley that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Poetry of Crisis; The Peter Nahum Collection of British Surrealist and Avant-Garde Art 1930-1951 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Autumn Leaves von John Copley zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.600,00 (€ 5.346,11) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Autumn Leaves das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Copley, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
