Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Elso, Harry's Bar (i); Building Harry's Bar, July 1978; Peter Witney & Johnnie (ii); Harry's Bar, Venice (iii) by John Stanton Ward was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,164.75). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by John Stanton Ward; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Annabel's, Study for The Founder Members sold at auction in November 2018 with the realized price of GBP 13,125.00 (€ 14,804.60).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Elso, Harry's Bar (i); Building Harry's Bar, July 1978; Peter Witney & Johnnie (ii); Harry's Bar, Venice (iii) von John Stanton Ward im November 2018 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.164,75) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von John Stanton Ward; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Annabel's, Study for The Founder Members im November 2018 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 13.125,00 (€ 14.804,60).
