Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
In February 2007 Christies in London held the auction British & Continental Watercolours, which included the work Looking over Shiba quarter, Tokyo by John Varley Jnr.. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 780.00 (€ 1,156.32), 56% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Varley Jnr. achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
Im Februar 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion British & Continental Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit Looking over Shiba quarter, Tokyo von John Varley Jnr. zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 780,00 (€ 1.156,32) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Varley Jnr. erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit British the Mosque Of Khair Bek, Cairo im Juni 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 13.750,00 (€ 16.721,28).
