Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

The work Wrestler, Korongo Nuba Of Kordofan, South Sudan, 1949 by George Rodger was worth GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,250.48) to a buyer in October 2013. This price was achieved in the auction Photographs at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 900.00 many times over. 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).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Die Arbeit Wrestler, Korongo Nuba Of Kordofan, South Sudan, 1949 von George Rodger war einem Käufer im Oktober 2013 GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.250,48) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Photographs bei Christies in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 900,00 um ein Vielfaches. 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.
