Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Seeking Leda by Gordon Rayner was auctioned at Sothebys in Toronto in May 2012. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of CAD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of CAD 10,800.00 (€ 8,439.79) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gordon Rayner - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Act I, which sold at auction in April 2020 for USD 35,000.00 (€ 31,948.88).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Seeking Leda von Gordon Rayner kam im Mai 2012 bei Sothebys in Toronto zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von CAD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von CAD 10.800,00 (€ 8.439,79) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Gordon Rayner mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Act I beobachtet, die im April 2020 für USD 35.000,00 (€ 31.948,88) versteigert wurde.
