Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.
In May 2021 Bonhams in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work The Morning Prayer by John George Brown. The »bidding war« ended at USD 24,062.50 (€ 19,733.07), 60% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John George Brown achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Thrilling Moment in January this year with an auction result of USD 819,000.00 (€ 754,282.56).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 60 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2021 führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Morning Prayer von John George Brown zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 24.062,50 (€ 19.733,07) und damit 60% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John George Brown erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Thrilling Moment im Januar diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 819.000,00 (€ 754.282,56).
