A top price for Robin Tanner - as previously expected
The work Twelve Etchings (Garton & Co. 3, 6, 9, 12-13, 18, 23, 25-27 & 30) by Robin Tanner was sold in the The Fine Art Society: 142 Years on New Bond Street auction at Sothebys in London in February 2019. The price achieved of GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,207.18) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Twelve Etchings (Garton & Co. 3, 6, 9, 12-13, 18, 23, 25-27 & 30) is the most expensive artwork by Robin Tanner that we have observed at auctions so far.

Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Twelve Etchings (Garton & Co. 3, 6, 9, 12-13, 18, 23, 25-27 & 30) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Robin Tanner, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
