Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work A Proposed Design For The Scott Monument, Edinburgh by John Henderson was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 700.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,222.73). Admittedly, works by John Henderson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Type in July 2019 with an auction result of USD 17,500.00 (€ 15,723.27).

Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Henderson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Type im Juli 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 17.500,00 (€ 15.723,27).
