Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Desk And Chair by Terrence Harold Robsjohn-Gibbings was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 13,750.00 (€ 15,599.55). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Terrence Harold Robsjohn-Gibbings - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Rare large "Mesa" coffee table, which sold at auction in December 2006 for USD 54,000.00 (€ 40,918.39).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Desk And Chair von Terrence Harold Robsjohn-Gibbings im September 2017 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 13.750,00 (€ 15.599,55) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Terrence Harold Robsjohn-Gibbings mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Rare large "Mesa" coffee table beobachtet, die im Dezember 2006 für USD 54.000,00 (€ 40.918,39) versteigert wurde.
