Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Suns & Moons Portfolio (8 works) by Michael Rothenstein was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in August last year. The price achieved of USD 382.50 (€ 380.03) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Michael Rothenstein achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The White House in May last year with an auction result of GBP 15,120.00 (€ 17,787.24).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Suns & Moons Portfolio (8 works) von Michael Rothenstein kam im August letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 382,50 (€ 380,03) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Michael Rothenstein erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The White House im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 15.120,00 (€ 17.787,24).
