Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A nook near the Lizard by John Mogford was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,688.75) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Mogford - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cockle gatherers on the Cornish coast, which sold at auction in March 2008 for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,281.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A nook near the Lizard von John Mogford kam im November 2010 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.688,75) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John Mogford mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cockle gatherers on the Cornish coast beobachtet, die im März 2008 für GBP 5.000,00 (€ 6.281,24) versteigert wurde.
