In March this year Bonhams held the auction Modern & Contemporary Art | Bonhams Skinner, which included the work Untitled 36 x 24 in. (91.4 x 61.0 cm) framed 36 1/2 x 24 3/4 in. by John Day. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,147.50 (€ 1,055.46), 28% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Day - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Double Progression II, Pompeian VI, which sold at auction in April 2011 for USD 4,750.00 (€ 3,204.91).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 28 % übertroffen
Im März diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Art | Bonhams Skinner durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled 36 x 24 in. (91.4 x 61.0 cm) framed 36 1/2 x 24 3/4 in. von John Day zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.147,50 (€ 1.055,46) und damit 28% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von John Day mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Double Progression II, Pompeian VI beobachtet, die im April 2011 für USD 4.750,00 (€ 3.204,91) versteigert wurde.
