Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Street Market by Robert Frederick Blum was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 158,500.00 (€ 119,812.53). Admittedly, works by Robert Frederick Blum have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Venetian Gondoliers in May 2012 with an auction result of USD 1,142,500.00 (€ 924,053.70).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Street Market von Robert Frederick Blum im April 2012 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 158.500,00 (€ 119.812,53) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert Frederick Blum auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Venetian Gondoliers im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.142.500,00 (€ 924.053,70).
