Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In January this year Bonhams held the auction Prints & Photographs | Bonhams Skinner, which included the work Sweet Like You by George Rodrigue. The »bidding war« ended at USD 956.25 (€ 880.69), 20% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Rodrigue achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work I Hear The Blues, I See The Blues, I Sing The Blues in March 2009 with an auction result of USD 170,500.00 (€ 128,572.51).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Januar diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Prints & Photographs | Bonhams Skinner durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sweet Like You von George Rodrigue zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 956,25 (€ 880,69) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Rodrigue erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit I Hear The Blues, I See The Blues, I Sing The Blues im März 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 170.500,00 (€ 128.572,51).
