Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2009 Sothebys in London held the auction 19th Century European Paintings including Spanish Painting, The Orientalist Sale, and German, Austrian, Scandinavian and Symbolist Works, which included the work Swedish The Murillo Gardens, Seville by Hugo Birger. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 12,311.67) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hugo Birger - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work "Badbrygga vid stranden av Engelska kanalen" (Jetty on the beach of the English Channel), which sold at auction in December 2013 for SEK 400,000.00 (€ 45,170.19).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2009 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 19th Century European Paintings including Spanish Painting, The Orientalist Sale, and German, Austrian, Scandinavian and Symbolist Works durch, in der auch die Arbeit Swedish The Murillo Gardens, Seville von Hugo Birger zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 11.250,00 (€ 12.311,67) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Hugo Birger mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit "Badbrygga vid stranden av Engelska kanalen" (Jetty on the beach of the English Channel) beobachtet, die im Dezember 2013 für SEK 400.000,00 (€ 45.170,19) versteigert wurde.
