Upper estimate price exceeded by 83 %.

This artwork by John H. Wilson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2007. In the Maritime auction, the work A brig off the Eddystone Lighthouse sold for GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,850.71) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John H. Wilson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Street Car Scene, which sold at auction in October this year for USD 12,800.00 (€ 12,112.04).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 83 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von John H. Wilson erzielte im November 2007 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Maritime wurde die Arbeit A brig off the Eddystone Lighthouse für GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.850,71) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John H. Wilson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Street Car Scene beobachtet, die im Oktober diesen Jahres für USD 12.800,00 (€ 12.112,04) versteigert wurde.
