Auction result well in line with expectations

The work 126 Studies of the Fever Hospital at Night 108 x 114.5cm (42 1/2 x 45 1/16in) overall by John Virtue was auctioned at Bonhams in London in September 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,550.00 (€ 2,811.79) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Virtue achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Landscape No. 87 in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 40,000.00 (€ 47,196.07).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit 126 Studies of the Fever Hospital at Night 108 x 114.5cm (42 1/2 x 45 1/16in) overall von John Virtue kam im September 2020 bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.550,00 (€ 2.811,79) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Virtue erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Landscape No. 87 im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 40.000,00 (€ 47.196,07).
