This artwork by John Wainwright achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2005. In the British and Continental Watercolours and Oriental auction, the work The covenanter sold for GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,264.25) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Wainwright achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Roses, Lillies, Tulips, Poppies And Other Flowers In A Vase In A Classical Garden in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 44,400.00 (€ 65,803.60).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 95 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Wainwright erzielte im Dezember 2005 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Oriental wurde die Arbeit The covenanter für GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.264,25) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Wainwright erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Roses, Lillies, Tulips, Poppies And Other Flowers In A Vase In A Classical Garden im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 44.400,00 (€ 65.803,60).
