Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A market scene at the entrance to a town by John Varley Jnr. was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,375.00 (€ 4,874.14) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Varley Jnr. - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work British the Mosque Of Khair Bek, Cairo, which sold at auction in June 2010 for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,721.28).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A market scene at the entrance to a town von John Varley Jnr. kam im Dezember 2018 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.375,00 (€ 4.874,14) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von John Varley Jnr. mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit British the Mosque Of Khair Bek, Cairo beobachtet, die im Juni 2010 für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 16.721,28) versteigert wurde.
