A top price for Richard Bosman
When the work The Chase by Richard Bosman was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 7,500.00 (€ 6,738.54). This high result makes The Chase the most expensive artwork by Richard Bosman that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Richard Bosman
Als die Arbeit The Chase von Richard Bosman im Juli 2019 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 7.500,00 (€ 6.738,54) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Chase zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Richard Bosman, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
