Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 87/3D by John Wells was sold in the Modern British and Irish Art auction at Bonhams in London in July 2021. The price achieved of GBP 956.25 (€ 1,121.40) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. 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 87/3D von John Wells wurde im Juli 2021 in der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 956,25 (€ 1.121,40) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. 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).
