Despite a disappointment, a good price for Georg Philipp Rugendas

When the work A cavalry engagement by Georg Philipp Rugendas was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2001, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,937.50 (€ 4,735.62). Despite this disappointing result, A cavalry engagement is the most expensive artwork by Georg Philipp Rugendas that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Georg Philipp Rugendas

Als die Arbeit A cavalry engagement von Georg Philipp Rugendas im April 2001 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.937,50 (€ 4.735,62) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist A cavalry engagement das teuerste Kunstwerk von Georg Philipp Rugendas, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
