In September 2000 Christies in London held the auction 20th Century British Art, which included the work June Fragrance by John Strevens. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 940.00 (€ 1,572.91), 57% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by John Strevens have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Meeting in the park in August 2007 with an auction result of GBP 4,560.00 (€ 6,740.88).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 57 % übertroffen
Im September 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion 20th Century British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit June Fragrance von John Strevens zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 940,00 (€ 1.572,91) und damit 57% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Strevens auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Meeting in the park im August 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.560,00 (€ 6.740,88).
