Auction result well in line with expectations
In November this year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern British Art, which included the work Fissure 35 cm. (13 3/4 in.) high by Robert Adams. The price achieved of GBP 10,240.00 (€ 11,865.93) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Admittedly, works by Robert Adams have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Longmont, Colorado in October 2021 with an auction result of USD 81,900.00 (€ 70,896.81).

Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert Adams auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Longmont, Colorado im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 81.900,00 (€ 70.896,81).
