A top price for Robert Carver - as previously expected
In May 2007 Christies in London held the auction The Irish Sale, which included the work A Classical Landscape with Ruins and Figures in the Foreground by Robert Carver. The price achieved of GBP 216,000.00 (€ 317,858.62) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Classical Landscape with Ruins and Figures in the Foreground is the most expensive artwork by Robert Carver that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Irish Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Classical Landscape with Ruins and Figures in the Foreground von Robert Carver zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 216.000,00 (€ 317.858,62) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 150.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Classical Landscape with Ruins and Figures in the Foreground das teuerste Kunstwerk von Robert Carver, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
