A top price for Brian Rice
When the work Whirler by Brian Rice was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,462.86). This high result makes Whirler the most expensive artwork by Brian Rice that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Brian Rice
Als die Arbeit Whirler von Brian Rice im September 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.462,86) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Whirler zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Brian Rice, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
