Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2012 a collector was able to acquire the work Rabbits In A Cornfield by John Lawrence for GBP 1,188.00 (€ 1,465.13). This price was achieved in the auction The Art of Illustration - From the Collection of Michael Winner at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 1,200.00 – 1,600.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Lawrence - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bigwig leading Hazel, Dandelion, Fiver, Silver and Pipkin away from the ditch; The Black rabbit; and Bigwig, which sold at auction in July 2003 for GBP 2,585.00 (€ 3,378.77).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2012 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Rabbits In A Cornfield von John Lawrence für GBP 1.188,00 (€ 1.465,13) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Art of Illustration - From the Collection of Michael Winner bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.200,00 – 1.600,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Lawrence mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bigwig leading Hazel, Dandelion, Fiver, Silver and Pipkin away from the ditch; The Black rabbit; and Bigwig beobachtet, die im Juli 2003 für GBP 2.585,00 (€ 3.378,77) versteigert wurde.
