Despite a disappointment, a good price for John Robertson Reid
This work of art by John Robertson Reid could be acquired at Christies in London in February 2003 for an unexpectedly low price. In the THE FORBES COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN PICTURES AND WORKS OF ART auction, the work Hiding the Deserter changed hands for GBP 11,950.00 (€ 17,446.62) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Hiding the Deserter is the most expensive artwork by John Robertson Reid that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für John Robertson Reid
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Robertson Reid konnte im Februar 2003 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion THE FORBES COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN PICTURES AND WORKS OF ART wechselte die Arbeit Hiding the Deserter für GBP 11.950,00 (€ 17.446,62) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Hiding the Deserter das teuerste Kunstwerk von John Robertson Reid, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
