Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July 2006 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours, which included the work Selling Fish On The Beach At Worthing; And Off To Market by John Nixon. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 350.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 360.00 (€ 527.00). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Nixon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Musicians practising in May 2001 with an auction result of GBP 6,462.50 (€ 10,834.53).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juli 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit Selling Fish On The Beach At Worthing; And Off To Market von John Nixon zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 350,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 360,00 (€ 527,00) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Nixon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Musicians practising im Mai 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.462,50 (€ 10.834,53).
