Auction result misses estimated price range
In May this year a collector was able to acquire the work Teresa and the Apprentices by John Wesley for USD 126,000.00 (€ 118,265.44). This price was achieved in the auction A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Wesley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Plague, which sold at auction in May 2008 for USD 577,000.00 (€ 370,822.62).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Teresa and the Apprentices von John Wesley für USD 126.000,00 (€ 118.265,44) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion A Century of Art: The Gerald Fineberg Collection Part II bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Wesley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Plague beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für USD 577.000,00 (€ 370.822,62) versteigert wurde.
