Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.
In September 2014 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Construction, 1953 by William Johnstone. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,625.00 (€ 2,087.23), 35% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Johnstone achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Earth, Air, Fire, Water in May 2007 with an auction result of GBP 19,200.00 (€ 28,254.10).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
Im September 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit Construction, 1953 von William Johnstone zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.625,00 (€ 2.087,23) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Johnstone erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Earth, Air, Fire, Water im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 19.200,00 (€ 28.254,10).
