Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Sentinel by John Milne was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2012. The price achieved of GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,572.57) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. 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 Sentinel von John Milne kam im Juli 2012 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.572,57) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. 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.
