Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2008 Christies in London held the auction Nineteenth Century European Art, which included the work The Citadel and Mosque of Mehemet-Ali of the desert by John Varley Jnr.. The price achieved of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,176.28) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Admittedly, works by John Varley Jnr. have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work British the Mosque Of Khair Bek, Cairo in June 2010 with an auction result of GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,721.28).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Nineteenth Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Citadel and Mosque of Mehemet-Ali of the desert von John Varley Jnr. zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.176,28) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Varley Jnr. auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit British the Mosque Of Khair Bek, Cairo im Juni 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 13.750,00 (€ 16.721,28).
