A top price for Reginald Brill
When the work Excavators by Reginald Brill was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 80,500.00 (€ 97,987.13). This high result makes Excavators the most expensive artwork by Reginald Brill that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Reginald Brill
Als die Arbeit Excavators von Reginald Brill im April 2014 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 80.500,00 (€ 97.987,13) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Excavators zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Reginald Brill, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
