This artwork by George Rickey achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May 2021. In the The Artist’s Eye: The Collection of Tom Levine auction, the work Single Line (One Line Horizontal) sold for USD 6,930.00 (€ 5,683.12) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00. 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 um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Rickey erzielte im Mai 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Artist’s Eye: The Collection of Tom Levine wurde die Arbeit Single Line (One Line Horizontal) für USD 6.930,00 (€ 5.683,12) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00. 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).
