Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Notes From The Far North by Gordon Rayner was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,250.00 (€ 907.18). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gordon Rayner achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Act I in April 2020 with an auction result of USD 35,000.00 (€ 31,948.88).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Notes From The Far North von Gordon Rayner im Dezember 2013 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.250,00 (€ 907,18) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gordon Rayner erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Act I im April 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 31.948,88).
