Auction result well in line with expectations

The work 'The Challenger', Kao-nyaro tribesman, Kordofan, Sudan by George Rodger was auctioned at Phillips in London in October 2009. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,512.89) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Rodger - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Champion of a Korongo Nuba Wrestling Match is Carried Shoulder High, Kordofan, Southern Sudan, which sold at auction in May 2010 for USD 8,750.00 (€ 7,074.14).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit 'The Challenger', Kao-nyaro tribesman, Kordofan, Sudan von George Rodger kam im Oktober 2009 bei Phillips in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.512,89) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von George Rodger mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Champion of a Korongo Nuba Wrestling Match is Carried Shoulder High, Kordofan, Southern Sudan beobachtet, die im Mai 2010 für USD 8.750,00 (€ 7.074,14) versteigert wurde.
