Upper estimate price exceeded by 76 %.
This artwork by George Rickey achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in December 2021. In the Contemporary Art | New York auction, the work Two Lines Oblique Down sold for USD 35,280.00 (€ 31,171.59) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. 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 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Rickey erzielte im Dezember 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Art | New York wurde die Arbeit Two Lines Oblique Down für USD 35.280,00 (€ 31.171,59) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. 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).
