Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 68/17D by John Wells was auctioned at Bonhams in London in July 2021. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,402.50 (€ 1,644.72) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Wells achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Structure In Oval in November 2012 with an auction result of GBP 55,250.00 (€ 68,062.39).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit 68/17D von John Wells kam im Juli 2021 bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.402,50 (€ 1.644,72) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Wells erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Structure In Oval im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 55.250,00 (€ 68.062,39).
