A top price for John McKirdy Duncan - as previously expected
In May 2008 Sothebys in London held the auction Scottish Pictures, which included the work Mary, Queen Of Scots by John McKirdy Duncan. The price achieved of GBP 120,500.00 (€ 153,281.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Mary, Queen Of Scots is the most expensive artwork by John McKirdy Duncan that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai 2008 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Scottish Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mary, Queen Of Scots von John McKirdy Duncan zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 120.500,00 (€ 153.281,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Mary, Queen Of Scots das teuerste Kunstwerk von John McKirdy Duncan, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
