pencil, watercolour and bodycolour
21½ x 29 in. (54.7 x 73.6 cm.)

Sold at the lower estimate price

The work Butterfly Kite by Michael Rothenstein was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2010. The result of GBP 500.00 (€ 597.50) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Michael Rothenstein achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The White House in May last year with an auction result of GBP 15,120.00 (€ 17,787.24).

Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis

Die Arbeit Butterfly Kite von Michael Rothenstein kam im November 2010 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 500,00 (€ 597,50) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Michael Rothenstein erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The White House im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 15.120,00 (€ 17.787,24).
