Upper estimate price exceeded by 66 %.
The work Christina by John Koch was sold in the American Art auction at Bonhams in New York in May 2021. The »bidding war« ended at USD 8,287.50 (€ 6,796.38), 66% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Koch achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Siesta in July 2020 with an auction result of USD 596,075.00 (€ 506,263.80).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 66 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Christina von John Koch wurde im Mai 2021 in der Auktion American Art bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 8.287,50 (€ 6.796,38) und damit 66% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Koch erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Siesta im Juli 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 596.075,00 (€ 506.263,80).
