Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.
In January 2007 Christies in London held the auction The Lyndon Goodwin Harris Collection of Watercolours by Albert Goodwin, Joseph Edward Southall & Other Artists, which included the work Emblems of war by John Joseph Barker. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 480.00 (€ 724.21), 60% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Joseph Barker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Piper Playing To Figures In An Interior; And A Couple Beside A Fire In An Interior in June 2002 with an auction result of GBP 5,019.00 (€ 7,763.26).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 60 % übertroffen
Im Januar 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Lyndon Goodwin Harris Collection of Watercolours by Albert Goodwin, Joseph Edward Southall & Other Artists durch, in der auch die Arbeit Emblems of war von John Joseph Barker zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 480,00 (€ 724,21) und damit 60% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Joseph Barker erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Piper Playing To Figures In An Interior; And A Couple Beside A Fire In An Interior im Juni 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.019,00 (€ 7.763,26).
