Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Promenading Figures, Shrewsbury by Michael Angelo Rooker was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2011. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,041.93) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Michael Angelo Rooker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Battle Abbey Gate, Sussex; And Casars Tower And Kenilworth Castle, Warwickshire, which sold at auction in December 2007 for GBP 24,500.00 (€ 33,291.34).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Promenading Figures, Shrewsbury von Michael Angelo Rooker kam im Juli 2011 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 10.041,93) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Michael Angelo Rooker mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Battle Abbey Gate, Sussex; And Casars Tower And Kenilworth Castle, Warwickshire beobachtet, die im Dezember 2007 für GBP 24.500,00 (€ 33.291,34) versteigert wurde.
