Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Red Sea II by Robert Motherwell was auctioned at Bonhams in London in October this year. The price achieved of USD 10,880.00 (€ 10,295.23) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Motherwell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work At Five in the Afternoon in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 12,690,000.00 (€ 10,874,035.99).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Red Sea II von Robert Motherwell kam im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 10.880,00 (€ 10.295,23) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Motherwell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit At Five in the Afternoon im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 12.690.000,00 (€ 10.874.035,99).
