Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Portrait #6 by John Graham Coughtry was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 21,250.00 (€ 19,397.54). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Graham Coughtry - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Two Figures Viii, which sold at auction in December 2009 for CAD 60,000.00 (€ 40,018.14).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Portrait #6 von John Graham Coughtry im April 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 21.250,00 (€ 19.397,54) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von John Graham Coughtry mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Two Figures Viii beobachtet, die im Dezember 2009 für CAD 60.000,00 (€ 40.018,14) versteigert wurde.
