36 x 23 3/8in. (91.5 x 59.4cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Stockmen by Jon Molvig was sold in the THE TRAVEL SALE auction at Christies in London in September 2001. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,115.00 (€ 3,414.82) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jon Molvig - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Australian gravedigger No. Ii, which sold at auction in August 2008 for AUD 20,400.00 (€ 11,908.46).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit The Stockmen von Jon Molvig wurde im September 2001 in der Auktion THE TRAVEL SALE bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.115,00 (€ 3.414,82) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Jon Molvig mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Australian gravedigger No. Ii beobachtet, die im August 2008 für AUD 20.400,00 (€ 11.908,46) versteigert wurde.
