A top price for John Robert Cozens
When the work The Lake Of Albano And Castel Gandolfo by John Robert Cozens was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 700,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,393,250.00 (€ 2,877,613.47). This high result makes The Lake Of Albano And Castel Gandolfo the most expensive artwork by John Robert Cozens that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für John Robert Cozens
Als die Arbeit The Lake Of Albano And Castel Gandolfo von John Robert Cozens im Juli 2010 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 700.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.393.250,00 (€ 2.877.613,47) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Lake Of Albano And Castel Gandolfo zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von John Robert Cozens, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
