Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 'Pretty Sight, Ain'T It, Charley, To See The Youngsters Enjoying Themselves?' by John Leech was auctioned at Sothebys in Olympia in November 2006. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,080.00 (€ 1,603.83) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Leech - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mr Briggs Taming A Colt Which He Has Bred Himself, which sold at auction in November 2008 for GBP 4,500.00 (€ 5,440.84).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit 'Pretty Sight, Ain'T It, Charley, To See The Youngsters Enjoying Themselves?' von John Leech kam im November 2006 bei Sothebys in Olympia zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.080,00 (€ 1.603,83) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John Leech mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Mr Briggs Taming A Colt Which He Has Bred Himself beobachtet, die im November 2008 für GBP 4.500,00 (€ 5.440,84) versteigert wurde.
