Auction result well in line with expectations
The work BAG ONE by John Lennon was sold in the Interiors: Fine Art Online auction at Christies in New York in June 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 22,500.00 (€ 19,909.74) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Lennon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bag One, which sold at auction in November 2016 for USD 52,500.00 (€ 49,631.31).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit BAG ONE von John Lennon wurde im Juni 2019 in der Auktion Interiors: Fine Art Online bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 22.500,00 (€ 19.909,74) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John Lennon mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bag One beobachtet, die im November 2016 für USD 52.500,00 (€ 49.631,31) versteigert wurde.
