Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Five Bowls by Lucie Rie was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 22,680.00 (€ 25,008.39). Admittedly, works by Lucie Rie have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Yellow Footed Bowl With Bronzed Rim in September 2017 with an auction result of GBP 125,000.00 (€ 141,814.10).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Five Bowls von Lucie Rie im September 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 22.680,00 (€ 25.008,39) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lucie Rie auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Yellow Footed Bowl With Bronzed Rim im September 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 125.000,00 (€ 141.814,10).
