Sold at the upper estimate price
The work 'Girl Reading' by Hugo Robus was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2012. The auction ended at the price of USD 25,000.00 (€ 18,749.06), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hugo Robus - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Paean', which sold at auction in December 2010 for USD 68,500.00 (€ 51,624.09).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit 'Girl Reading' von Hugo Robus kam im März 2012 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 18.749,06) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Hugo Robus mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'Paean' beobachtet, die im Dezember 2010 für USD 68.500,00 (€ 51.624,09) versteigert wurde.
