In June 2009 Sothebys in London held the auction 19th Century European Paintings including German, Austrian & Central European Paintings, The Orientalist Sale, Spanish Painting and The Scandinavian Sale, which included the work Austrian Reisigsammlerin (The Wood Gatherer) by Robert Russ. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,534.42), 35% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Russ achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Austrian Der Gardasee Bei Gariano (Gariano, Lake Garda) in June 2009 with an auction result of GBP 103,250.00 (€ 121,160.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
Im Juni 2009 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 19th Century European Paintings including German, Austrian & Central European Paintings, The Orientalist Sale, Spanish Painting and The Scandinavian Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Austrian Reisigsammlerin (The Wood Gatherer) von Robert Russ zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.534,42) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Russ erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Austrian Der Gardasee Bei Gariano (Gariano, Lake Garda) im Juni 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 103.250,00 (€ 121.160,41).
