A top price for Dick Romyn - as previously expected

In February 2008 Christies in London held the auction 20th Century British Art, which included the work Ship of Fools; Beach head, night; South Coast by Dick Romyn. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,187.50 (€ 1,553.20) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Ship of Fools; Beach head, night; South Coast is the most expensive artwork by Dick Romyn that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im Februar 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion 20th Century British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ship of Fools; Beach head, night; South Coast von Dick Romyn zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.187,50 (€ 1.553,20) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Ship of Fools; Beach head, night; South Coast das teuerste Kunstwerk von Dick Romyn, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
