Auction result well in line with expectations
The work ‘The Withdrawal From Moscow’ by Leonard Raven-Hill was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 525.00 (€ 597.74) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Leonard Raven-Hill - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'President Wilson Starts Again For Europe', which sold at auction in June 2005 for GBP 1,020.00 (€ 1,511.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit ‘The Withdrawal From Moscow’ von Leonard Raven-Hill kam im März 2018 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 525,00 (€ 597,74) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Leonard Raven-Hill mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'President Wilson Starts Again For Europe' beobachtet, die im Juni 2005 für GBP 1.020,00 (€ 1.511,70) versteigert wurde.
