Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2013 Sothebys in New York held the auction 19th Century European Art, which included the work British the Butterfly by Robert Fowler. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 22,500.00 (€ 17,323.68) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Robert Fowler have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Dance of Salome in April 2014 with an auction result of USD 100,000.00 (€ 72,098.05).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2013 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion 19th Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit British the Butterfly von Robert Fowler zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 22.500,00 (€ 17.323,68) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert Fowler auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Dance of Salome im April 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 100.000,00 (€ 72.098,05).
