Upper estimate price exceeded by 70 %.
The work Two Studies for Three Musicians: A Pair of Works 9 x 6 in. (22.9 x 15.2 cm.); 6 x 9 in. (15.2 x 22.9 cm.) by John Koch was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in May last year. It achieved a price of USD 2,550.00 (€ 2,376.29), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 70%. 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).

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 2.550,00 (€ 2.376,29) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 70%. 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).
