A top price for John Ralph - as previously expected
In May 2007 Christies in London held the auction Nineteenth Century European Art Including Russian Pictures, which included the work The ballet dancer and the pierrots by John Ralph. The price achieved of GBP 8,400.00 (€ 12,361.17) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The ballet dancer and the pierrots is the most expensive artwork by John Ralph that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Nineteenth Century European Art Including Russian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit The ballet dancer and the pierrots von John Ralph zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 8.400,00 (€ 12.361,17) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The ballet dancer and the pierrots das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Ralph, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
