Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work A young girl, a sketch by John Phillip was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 400.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 1,645.00 (€ 2,655.97). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Phillip achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Early Career of Murillo - 1634 'He was reduced to earn his daily bread by painting coarse and hasty pictures for the Feria (weekly fair) held in a broad street branching from the northern end of the Old Alameda and in front of the old church of ' in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 94,650.00 (€ 138,186
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A young girl, a sketch von John Phillip im September 2001 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 400,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.645,00 (€ 2.655,97) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Phillip erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Early Career of Murillo - 1634 'He was reduced to earn his daily bread by painting coarse and hasty pictures for the Feria (weekly fair) held in a broad street branching from the northern end of the Old Alameda and in front of the old church of ' im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 94.650,00 (€ 138.186,01).
