Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Ancient architecture of Rome, 1850s - early 1860s by Robert MacPherson was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2000, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 881.25 (€ 1,414.08). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert MacPherson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Australian Mayfair: September (Vertical Orange) In Memory Of E.M.M. in August 2009 with an auction result of AUD 38,400.00 (€ 22,576.12).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Ancient architecture of Rome, 1850s - early 1860s von Robert MacPherson im Mai 2000 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 881,25 (€ 1.414,08) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert MacPherson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Australian Mayfair: September (Vertical Orange) In Memory Of E.M.M. im August 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 38.400,00 (€ 22.576,12).
