Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Sketch for 'The Artist in His Library' by Reginald Brill was auctioned at Bonhams in London in November this year. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 800.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 896.00 (€ 1,038.27). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Reginald Brill achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Excavators in April 2014 with an auction result of GBP 80,500.00 (€ 97,987.13).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Sketch for 'The Artist in His Library' von Reginald Brill kam im November diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 896,00 (€ 1.038,27) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Reginald Brill erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Excavators im April 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 80.500,00 (€ 97.987,13).
