In October last year Christies in London held the auction Churchill to Eden: The Collection of the Earl and Countess of Avon, which included the work Cats Playing by John Skeaping. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,032.00 (€ 4,697.24), 61% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Skeaping achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pine marten in November 2017 with an auction result of GBP 77,500.00 (€ 87,974.03).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 61 % übertroffen
Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Churchill to Eden: The Collection of the Earl and Countess of Avon durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cats Playing von John Skeaping zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.032,00 (€ 4.697,24) und damit 61% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Skeaping erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pine marten im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 77.500,00 (€ 87.974,03).
