Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Lady on yellow chair by John Melville was sold in the Christie's Interiors auction at Christies in London in November 2012. The price achieved of GBP 937.50 (€ 1,154.90) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Melville achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Chairs in November 2019 with an auction result of GBP 17,500.00 (€ 20,549.28).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Lady on yellow chair von John Melville wurde im November 2012 in der Auktion Christie's Interiors bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 937,50 (€ 1.154,90) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Melville erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Chairs im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 17.500,00 (€ 20.549,28).
