Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Spanish La Buenaventura by Julio Romero de Torres was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2014. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 104,500.00 (€ 134,526.15) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Julio Romero de Torres have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Fuensanta in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 826,900.00 (€ 1,157,873.93).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Spanish La Buenaventura von Julio Romero de Torres kam im Dezember 2014 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 104.500,00 (€ 134.526,15) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Julio Romero de Torres auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Fuensanta im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 826.900,00 (€ 1.157.873,93).
