Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Bronze Tower by John Milne was sold in the Modern & Post-War British Art auction at Sothebys in London in November 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,150.00 (€ 3,516.46) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Milne - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Vertical Form, which sold at auction in November 2020 for GBP 10,080.00 (€ 11,252.68).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Bronze Tower von John Milne wurde im November 2020 in der Auktion Modern & Post-War British Art bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.150,00 (€ 3.516,46) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John Milne mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Vertical Form beobachtet, die im November 2020 für GBP 10.080,00 (€ 11.252,68) versteigert wurde.
