Sold at the lower estimate price
The work German Evening In Biskra by Max Rabes was sold in the 19th Century European Art including The Orientalist Sale auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2008. The result of USD 25,000.00 (€ 19,712.98) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Max Rabes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Storytime, which sold at auction in October 2005 for USD 66,000.00 (€ 55,022.93).
