Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2007 Christies in London held the auction Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures), which included the work The S.S. Benwick under sail and steam by Luigi Roberto. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 700.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 780.00 (€ 1,147.82). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Luigi Roberto - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Greve Frijs under full sail in the Mediterranean; and The Greve Frijs under reduced sail in a swell, which sold at auction in May 2003 for GBP 1,880.00 (€ 2,619.31).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures) durch, in der auch die Arbeit The S.S. Benwick under sail and steam von Luigi Roberto zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 700,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 780,00 (€ 1.147,82) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Luigi Roberto mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Greve Frijs under full sail in the Mediterranean; and The Greve Frijs under reduced sail in a swell beobachtet, die im Mai 2003 für GBP 1.880,00 (€ 2.619,31) versteigert wurde.
