Auction result well in line with expectations
The work "Yoko Ono as Mona Lisa" by John Lennon was sold in the Contemporary & Design auction at Bukowski in Stockholm in May 2015. The price achieved of SEK 125,000.00 (€ 13,336.82) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as SEK 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. 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 "Yoko Ono as Mona Lisa" von John Lennon wurde im Mai 2015 in der Auktion Contemporary & Design bei Bukowski in Stockholm versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von SEK 125.000,00 (€ 13.336,82) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit SEK 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. 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.
