Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A young woman from Bursa, Northern Turkey by John Frederick Lewis was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2018. The price achieved of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,818.30) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Frederick Lewis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Midday Meal, Cairo in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 2,472,000.00 (€ 3,663,660.11).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A young woman from Bursa, Northern Turkey von John Frederick Lewis kam im Juli 2018 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 16.818,30) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Frederick Lewis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Midday Meal, Cairo im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.472.000,00 (€ 3.663.660,11).
