This artwork by Robert Kennedy Abbett achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in December 2007. In the The House Sale auction, the work The Botanist - English Setter Pup sold for USD 5,250.00 (€ 3,595.15) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Robert Kennedy Abbett erzielte im Dezember 2007 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The House Sale wurde die Arbeit The Botanist - English Setter Pup für USD 5.250,00 (€ 3.595,15) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Robert Kennedy Abbett mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pointer With Startled Grouse beobachtet, die im September 2010 für USD 16.250,00 (€ 11.947,65) versteigert wurde.
