Auction result well in line with expectations
In March last year Christies in London held the auction Dramas of Light and Land: The Martyn Gregory Collection of British Art, which included the work Cader Idris, Snowdonia, Wales by John Varley. The price achieved of GBP 9,450.00 (€ 11,204.04) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Varley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Plains of Marathon, which sold at auction in January 2003 for GBP 19,120.00 (€ 29,284.45).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Dramas of Light and Land: The Martyn Gregory Collection of British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cader Idris, Snowdonia, Wales von John Varley zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 9.450,00 (€ 11.204,04) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von John Varley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Plains of Marathon beobachtet, die im Januar 2003 für GBP 19.120,00 (€ 29.284,45) versteigert wurde.
