Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Seagulls by John Elwyn was sold in the Modern British and Irish Art auction at Christies in London in October 2013. The price achieved of GBP 1,187.50 (€ 1,403.62) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Elwyn - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Near Aberarth, Cardiganshire, which sold at auction in February 2007 for GBP 2,160.00 (€ 3,202.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Seagulls von John Elwyn wurde im Oktober 2013 in der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.187,50 (€ 1.403,62) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von John Elwyn mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Near Aberarth, Cardiganshire beobachtet, die im Februar 2007 für GBP 2.160,00 (€ 3.202,12) versteigert wurde.
