A top price for Robert Carrick - as previously expected

In December 2015 Sothebys in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, which included the work Weary Life by Robert Carrick. The price achieved of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 32,251.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Weary Life is the most expensive artwork by Robert Carrick that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im Dezember 2015 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Weary Life von Robert Carrick zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 23.750,00 (€ 32.251,36) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Weary Life das teuerste Kunstwerk von Robert Carrick, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
