Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Here Comes The Snakes, 2005 by Ricky Swallow was auctioned at Bonhams in March this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of AUD 600.00 – 900.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for AUD 516.60 (€ 318.55). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ricky Swallow achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Rehearsal For Retirement in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 31,250.00 (€ 29,587.20).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Here Comes The Snakes, 2005 von Ricky Swallow im März diesen Jahres bei Bonhams versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von AUD 600,00 – 900,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für AUD 516,60 (€ 318,55) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ricky Swallow erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Rehearsal For Retirement im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 31.250,00 (€ 29.587,20).
