Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Matthew Ritchie could be acquired at Christies in London in July last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale, London auction, the work Spirits of the Air changed hands for GBP 1,900.00 (€ 2,268.94) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Matthew Ritchie achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Big Life oil and ink on canvas 88 x 154 in. (223.5 x 391.2 cm.) Executed in 2002. The Essential Diagrams 12 vinyl decals dimensions variable Executed in 2002. This work is number nine from an edition of twelve. in November 2007 with an auction result of USD 289,000.00 (€ 196,759.26).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Matthew Ritchie konnte im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale, London wechselte die Arbeit Spirits of the Air für GBP 1.900,00 (€ 2.268,94) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Matthew Ritchie erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Big Life oil and ink on canvas 88 x 154 in. (223.5 x 391.2 cm.) Executed in 2002. The Essential Diagrams 12 vinyl decals dimensions variable Executed in 2002. This work is number nine from an edition of twelve. im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 289.000,00 (€ 196.759,26).
