Auction result well in line with expectations

In September 2007 Christies in New York held the auction Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work Standing Youth by Robert Bliss. The price achieved of USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,076.87) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Bliss - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Standing Boy On Purple Background, which sold at auction in March 2007 for USD 10,200.00 (€ 7,626.74).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im September 2007 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Fine American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Standing Youth von Robert Bliss zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 4.375,00 (€ 3.076,87) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Robert Bliss mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Standing Boy On Purple Background beobachtet, die im März 2007 für USD 10.200,00 (€ 7.626,74) versteigert wurde.
