Upper estimate price exceeded by 27 %.
The work Olive trees by Reuven Rubin was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Art auction at Bonhams in April this year. It achieved a price of GBP 38,100.00 (€ 43,421.58), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 27%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Reuven Rubin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Road To Meron in December 2015 with an auction result of USD 634,000.00 (€ 583,847.50).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 27 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Olive trees von Reuven Rubin wurde im April diesen Jahres in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art bei Bonhams versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 38.100,00 (€ 43.421,58) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 27%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Reuven Rubin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Road To Meron im Dezember 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 634.000,00 (€ 583.847,50).
