Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A view of the Qutb complex, Delhi, with the Qutb Minar, Alai Darwaza and the Jamali Kamali Mosque in the distance by Robert Smith was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2003. The price achieved of GBP 21,510.00 (€ 21,666.44) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 25,000.00. Admittedly, works by Robert Smith have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work View of Mount Erskine and Pulo Ticoose, Prince of Wales' Island in October 2014 with an auction result of GBP 68,500.00 (€ 87,464.60).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A view of the Qutb complex, Delhi, with the Qutb Minar, Alai Darwaza and the Jamali Kamali Mosque in the distance von Robert Smith kam im September 2003 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 21.510,00 (€ 21.666,44) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert Smith auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit View of Mount Erskine and Pulo Ticoose, Prince of Wales' Island im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 68.500,00 (€ 87.464,60).
