Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A British Brig And Frigate, Off The Mouth Of The Mersey by Robert Salmon was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 10,625.00 (€ 9,376.10). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Salmon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Royal Naval Vessels Off Pembroke Dock, Milford Haven in June 2009 with an auction result of USD 242,500.00 (€ 172,967.19).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A British Brig And Frigate, Off The Mouth Of The Mersey von Robert Salmon im Oktober 2018 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 10.625,00 (€ 9.376,10) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Salmon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Royal Naval Vessels Off Pembroke Dock, Milford Haven im Juni 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 242.500,00 (€ 172.967,19).
