Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Delta Theme with Two Lines by George Rickey was sold in the The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs and Melvin Jacobs auction at Christies in New York in May last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 30,240.00 (€ 28,180.04), 21% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Rickey achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work One Fixed Four Jointed Lines in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 519,000.00 (€ 465,512.60).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Delta Theme with Two Lines von George Rickey wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs and Melvin Jacobs bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 30.240,00 (€ 28.180,04) und damit 21% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Rickey erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit One Fixed Four Jointed Lines im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 519.000,00 (€ 465.512,60).
