This artwork by Dorothea Rockburne achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in December 2019. In the First Open | Online auction, the work Musician Angel: Triangle, Small Square sold for USD 12,500.00 (€ 11,133.87) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dorothea Rockburne achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Black and White in November last year with an auction result of USD 119,700.00 (€ 115,954.66).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Dorothea Rockburne erzielte im Dezember 2019 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion First Open | Online wurde die Arbeit Musician Angel: Triangle, Small Square für USD 12.500,00 (€ 11.133,87) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dorothea Rockburne erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Black and White im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 119.700,00 (€ 115.954,66).
