Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2014 Christies in London held the auction Topographical Pictures, which included the work An Indian man reading the newspaper in the bazaar, Bombay by Horace van Ruith. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 5,625.00 (€ 7,182.31). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Horace van Ruith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (A Brahmin Household) in March 2017 with an auction result of USD 384,500.00 (€ 359,412.97).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Topographical Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Indian man reading the newspaper in the bazaar, Bombay von Horace van Ruith zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 5.625,00 (€ 7.182,31) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Horace van Ruith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (A Brahmin Household) im März 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 384.500,00 (€ 359.412,97).
