Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Raking Day by Robert Kennedy Abbett was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2010. The price achieved of USD 5,938.00 (€ 4,365.86) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Kennedy Abbett - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pointer With Startled Grouse, which sold at auction in September 2010 for USD 16,250.00 (€ 11,947.65).
