Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2021 Bonhams in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art, which included the work Two Open Rectangles Up by George Rickey. Here, the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 32,812.50 (€ 29,071.06). 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
Im November 2021 führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Two Open Rectangles Up von George Rickey zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 32.812,50 (€ 29.071,06) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
