In April 2010 Christies in New York held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work A Man of the Sandwich Islands, in a Mask by John Webber. The »bidding war« ended at USD 812.50 (€ 610.81), 35% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Webber achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A View In Nootka Sound in December 2017 with an auction result of GBP 224,750.00 (€ 252,923.20).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
Im April 2010 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Man of the Sandwich Islands, in a Mask von John Webber zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 812,50 (€ 610,81) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Webber erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A View In Nootka Sound im Dezember 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 224.750,00 (€ 252.923,20).
