Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Copper River, Alaska by Robert Van Vorst Sewell was auctioned at Bonhams in January this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 700.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 2,550.00 (€ 2,348.50). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Van Vorst Sewell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The birth of Ogier the Dane in December 2021 with an auction result of GBP 22,500.00 (€ 26,837.78).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Copper River, Alaska von Robert Van Vorst Sewell im Januar diesen Jahres bei Bonhams versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 700,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 2.550,00 (€ 2.348,50) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Van Vorst Sewell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The birth of Ogier the Dane im Dezember 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 22.500,00 (€ 26.837,78).
