Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Muhammad Ali returns to the ring to lose, in a unanimous decision, to Joe Frazier, 1971 by Robert Riger was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,800.00 – 2,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 780.00 (€ 597.75). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Riger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Green Bay Packers, Forrest Gregg; Johnny Unitas, Green Bay Packers Tackle; and Green Bay Bench 3 in April 2021 with an auction result of USD 10,837.50 (€ 9,008.73).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Muhammad Ali returns to the ring to lose, in a unanimous decision, to Joe Frazier, 1971 von Robert Riger im Januar 2005 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.800,00 – 2.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 780,00 (€ 597,75) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Riger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Green Bay Packers, Forrest Gregg; Johnny Unitas, Green Bay Packers Tackle; and Green Bay Bench 3 im April 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 10.837,50 (€ 9.008,73).
