A top price for John Gantz - as previously expected
In September 2000 Christies in London held the auction Exploration & Travel with Visions of India, which included the work Arjuna's Penance, Mahabalipuram, near Madras by John Gantz. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,465.00 (€ 7,471.31) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Arjuna's Penance, Mahabalipuram, near Madras is the most expensive artwork by John Gantz that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im September 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion Exploration & Travel with Visions of India durch, in der auch die Arbeit Arjuna's Penance, Mahabalipuram, near Madras von John Gantz zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.465,00 (€ 7.471,31) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Arjuna's Penance, Mahabalipuram, near Madras das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Gantz, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
