This artwork by John Tunnard achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May last year. In the The Collection of Sir Nicholas Goodison - British Art: Innovation and Craftsmanship auction, the work Quadrants sold for GBP 35,280.00 (€ 41,503.56) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Tunnard - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Display, which sold at auction in November 2006 for GBP 90,000.00 (€ 133,652.82).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Tunnard erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Collection of Sir Nicholas Goodison - British Art: Innovation and Craftsmanship wurde die Arbeit Quadrants für GBP 35.280,00 (€ 41.503,56) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 15.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Tunnard mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Display beobachtet, die im November 2006 für GBP 90.000,00 (€ 133.652,82) versteigert wurde.
