Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work 'Las Meninas' by John Phillip was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 43,250.00 (€ 53,887.60). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Phillip - we have observed the highest auction result to date for 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 ', which sold at auction in February 2003 for GBP 94,650.00 (€ 138,186.01).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit 'Las Meninas' von John Phillip im Mai 2012 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 43.250,00 (€ 53.887,60) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von John Phillip mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für 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 ' beobachtet, die im Februar 2003 für GBP 94.650,00 (€ 138.186,01) versteigert wurde.
