Upper estimate price exceeded by 77 %.

This artwork by John Deakin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2011. In the Photographs auction, the work Sebastian Barker, two portraits and a contact sheet, 1961 sold for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,403.60) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Deakin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Elizabeth Smart, Writer, c.1952, which sold at auction in May 2007 for GBP 19,200.00 (€ 28,254.10).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 77 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von John Deakin erzielte im November 2011 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographs wurde die Arbeit Sebastian Barker, two portraits and a contact sheet, 1961 für GBP 10.625,00 (€ 12.403,60) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Deakin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Elizabeth Smart, Writer, c.1952 beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für GBP 19.200,00 (€ 28.254,10) versteigert wurde.
