Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Architecture of Rome and Vatican sculptures by Robert MacPherson was sold in the PHOTOGRAPHS auction at Christies in London in May 2001. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,232.50 (€ 3,742.84) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Robert MacPherson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Architecture of Rome and Vatican sculptures von Robert MacPherson wurde im Mai 2001 in der Auktion PHOTOGRAPHS bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.232,50 (€ 3.742,84) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert MacPherson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
