Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Figures on a village track by John W. King was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2002. The price achieved of GBP 94.00 (€ 152.09) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 25.00 – 200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John W. King - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The portico of the Taylor Institute, Oxford, which sold at auction in September 2001 for GBP 211.50 (€ 341.48).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Figures on a village track von John W. King kam im April 2002 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 94,00 (€ 152,09) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 25,00 – 200,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von John W. King mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The portico of the Taylor Institute, Oxford beobachtet, die im September 2001 für GBP 211,50 (€ 341,48) versteigert wurde.
