Auction result well in line with expectations
In November this year Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction American Art, which included the work The General by Hugo Robus. The price achieved of USD 12,800.00 (€ 11,734.51) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Admittedly, works by Hugo Robus have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 'Paean' in December 2010 with an auction result of USD 68,500.00 (€ 51,624.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The General von Hugo Robus zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 12.800,00 (€ 11.734,51) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Hugo Robus auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 'Paean' im Dezember 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 68.500,00 (€ 51.624,09).
