A top price for Robert Russ
When the work Austrian Der Gardasee Bei Gariano (Gariano, Lake Garda) by Robert Russ was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2009, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 103,250.00 (€ 121,160.41). This high result makes Austrian Der Gardasee Bei Gariano (Gariano, Lake Garda) the most expensive artwork by Robert Russ that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Robert Russ
Als die Arbeit Austrian Der Gardasee Bei Gariano (Gariano, Lake Garda) von Robert Russ im Juni 2009 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 103.250,00 (€ 121.160,41) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Austrian Der Gardasee Bei Gariano (Gariano, Lake Garda) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Robert Russ, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
