Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by James Rielly achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in February 2014. In the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction, the work Naked Boy sold for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,682.06) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Rielly - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Random Acts of Kindness, which sold at auction in February 2002 for GBP 21,737.50 (€ 35,473.45).

Dieses Kunstwerk von James Rielly erzielte im Februar 2014 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Naked Boy für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 16.682,06) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von James Rielly mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Random Acts of Kindness beobachtet, die im Februar 2002 für GBP 21.737,50 (€ 35.473,45) versteigert wurde.
