Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work His Majesty, an unidentified Indian Chieftain by Rudolf Swoboda was sold in the Travel, Science and Natural History auction at Christies in London in April 2012. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,825.74), 19% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rudolf Swoboda achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The carpet menders in July 2008 with an auction result of GBP 1,161,250.00 (€ 1,475,381.20).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit His Majesty, an unidentified Indian Chieftain von Rudolf Swoboda wurde im April 2012 in der Auktion Travel, Science and Natural History bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.825,74) und damit 19% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rudolf Swoboda erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The carpet menders im Juli 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.161.250,00 (€ 1.475.381,20).
