Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.
The work St. Patrick 30 cm. (11 3/4 in.) high by John Luke was sold in the The Irish SaleVision & Voice auction at Bonhams in Dublin in November this year. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 1,280.00 60% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Luke achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pax in September 2018 with an auction result of GBP 225,000.00 (€ 252,703.92).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 60 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit St. Patrick 30 cm. (11 3/4 in.) high von John Luke wurde im November diesen Jahres in der Auktion The Irish SaleVision & Voice bei Bonhams in Dublin versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 1.280,00 und damit 60% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Luke erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pax im September 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 225.000,00 (€ 252.703,92).
