In November 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction 19th Century European Paintings, which included the work Greek the Cobbler by Pavlos Prosalentis. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 16,250.00 (€ 20,018.35), 35% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pavlos Prosalentis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Greek A Moment'S Rest, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 50,900.00 (€ 71,273.17).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
Im November 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 19th Century European Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Greek the Cobbler von Pavlos Prosalentis zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 16.250,00 (€ 20.018,35) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Pavlos Prosalentis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Greek A Moment'S Rest beobachtet, die im November 2007 für GBP 50.900,00 (€ 71.273,17) versteigert wurde.
