A top price for John Thomas Peele
When the work The young highlander by John Thomas Peele was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 50,190.00 (€ 72,237.22). This high result makes The young highlander the most expensive artwork by John Thomas Peele that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für John Thomas Peele
Als die Arbeit The young highlander von John Thomas Peele im Oktober 2004 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 50.190,00 (€ 72.237,22) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The young highlander zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von John Thomas Peele, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
