Auction result misses estimated price range
In May 2011 a collector was able to acquire the work Blighty by Robert Tait McKenzie for CAD 9,000.00 (€ 6,462.02). This price was achieved in the auction Important Canadian Art at Sothebys in Toronto and was even below the estimate range of CAD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Tait McKenzie - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Competitor, which sold at auction in December 2004 for USD 28,680.00 (€ 21,184.81).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai 2011 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Blighty von Robert Tait McKenzie für CAD 9.000,00 (€ 6.462,02) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Important Canadian Art bei Sothebys in Toronto erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von CAD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Robert Tait McKenzie mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Competitor beobachtet, die im Dezember 2004 für USD 28.680,00 (€ 21.184,81) versteigert wurde.
