Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A River Landscape With A Castle On An Escarpment by Robert Adam was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,303.69). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Adam - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Elevation of an organ for Sir Nathaniel Curzon, Bt., which sold at auction in July 2015 for GBP 10,000.00 (€ 14,176.64).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A River Landscape With A Castle On An Escarpment von Robert Adam im Juli 2011 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.303,69) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Robert Adam mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Elevation of an organ for Sir Nathaniel Curzon, Bt. beobachtet, die im Juli 2015 für GBP 10.000,00 (€ 14.176,64) versteigert wurde.
