Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
The work Postwick Grove, Norwich by John Sell Cotman was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year. It achieved a price of USD 11,970.00 (€ 10,676.06), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Sell Cotman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work In the Grampians, a drover with his dog and cattle beyond in July 2017 with an auction result of GBP 118,750.00 (€ 132,506.76).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Postwick Grove, Norwich von John Sell Cotman kam im Januar letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 11.970,00 (€ 10.676,06) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 50%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Sell Cotman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit In the Grampians, a drover with his dog and cattle beyond im Juli 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 118.750,00 (€ 132.506,76).
