Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Fresh fish by John McGhie was sold in the The Scottish Sale auction at Christies in London in October 2006. The price achieved of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 8,964.53) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John McGhie - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work By the sea, which sold at auction in October 2003 for GBP 23,900.00 (€ 34,908.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Fresh fish von John McGhie wurde im Oktober 2006 in der Auktion The Scottish Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 8.964,53) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von John McGhie mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit By the sea beobachtet, die im Oktober 2003 für GBP 23.900,00 (€ 34.908,12) versteigert wurde.
