Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2014 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings, which included the work Not Un’Observed They Pass’D The God Of Light by John Flaxman. The price achieved of GBP 4,000.00 (€ 5,045.26) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by John Flaxman have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Angels Rescuing A Soul From The Ranks of The Dead in June 2006 with an auction result of GBP 14,400.00 (€ 20,836.56).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2014 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Not Un’Observed They Pass’D The God Of Light von John Flaxman zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.000,00 (€ 5.045,26) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Flaxman auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Angels Rescuing A Soul From The Ranks of The Dead im Juni 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 14.400,00 (€ 20.836,56).
