Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2014 a collector was able to acquire the work German Portrait Of George Hellmann Before A Vista In Tacna, Peru by Johann Moritz Rugendas for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 17,700.81). This price was achieved in the auction 19th Century European Paintings at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Johann Moritz Rugendas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Independencia market, Lima in December 2016 with an auction result of GBP 725,000.00 (€ 847,642.63).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2014 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit German Portrait Of George Hellmann Before A Vista In Tacna, Peru von Johann Moritz Rugendas für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 17.700,81) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion 19th Century European Paintings bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Johann Moritz Rugendas erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Independencia market, Lima im Dezember 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 725.000,00 (€ 847.642,63).
