Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Figure with Semaphore by Robert Griffiths Hodgins was auctioned at Bonhams in Edinburgh in October this year. The price achieved of GBP 6,400.00 (€ 7,348.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. Admittedly, works by Robert Griffiths Hodgins have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Balancing Act: a triptych (2003) in March 2020 with an auction result of GBP 62,562.00 (€ 70,645.31).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Figure with Semaphore von Robert Griffiths Hodgins kam im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Edinburgh zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.400,00 (€ 7.348,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert Griffiths Hodgins auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Balancing Act: a triptych (2003) im März 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 62.562,00 (€ 70.645,31).
