Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work View of Montauban, with the river Tarn; and Menton: Promenade St. Michel by Robert Simon was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2009, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 187.50 (€ 202.19). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Simon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Roses de Noel, which sold at auction in March 2009 for GBP 625.00 (€ 673.97).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit View of Montauban, with the river Tarn; and Menton: Promenade St. Michel von Robert Simon im März 2009 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 187,50 (€ 202,19) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Robert Simon mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Roses de Noel beobachtet, die im März 2009 für GBP 625,00 (€ 673,97) versteigert wurde.
