Auction result well in line with expectations
The work On the Keel, 1977 by John Firth-Smith was sold in the Australian and International Art Online auction at Bonhams in August this year. The price achieved of AUD 2,767.50 (€ 1,651.46) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Firth-Smith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sounds in April 2006 with an auction result of AUD 59,750.00 (€ 35,938.03).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit On the Keel, 1977 von John Firth-Smith wurde im August diesen Jahres in der Auktion Australian and International Art Online bei Bonhams versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 2.767,50 (€ 1.651,46) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Firth-Smith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sounds im April 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 59.750,00 (€ 35.938,03).
