Despite a disappointment, a good price for René Groebli
When the work The Magic Of The Railway, C. 1949 by René Groebli was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 14,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 8,500.00 (€ 10,277.14). Despite this disappointing result, The Magic Of The Railway, C. 1949 is the most expensive artwork by René Groebli that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für René Groebli
Als die Arbeit The Magic Of The Railway, C. 1949 von René Groebli im November 2008 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 14.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 8.500,00 (€ 10.277,14) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist The Magic Of The Railway, C. 1949 das teuerste Kunstwerk von René Groebli, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
