Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Unknown by John Miers was sold in the At Home - Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu, Irish, auction at Christies in London in October 2003. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 200.00 – 300.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 211.50 (€ 308.91) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Miers - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Two Regency Portrait Silhouettes, which sold at auction in December 2003 for AUD 1,997.50 (€ 1,192.44).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Unknown von John Miers wurde im Oktober 2003 in der Auktion At Home - Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu, Irish, bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 211,50 (€ 308,91) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John Miers mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Two Regency Portrait Silhouettes beobachtet, die im Dezember 2003 für AUD 1.997,50 (€ 1.192,44) versteigert wurde.
