Upper estimate price exceeded by 30 %.
In November 2006 Christies in London held the auction British Art on Paper, which included the work An Illustration To 'The Life of Tristram Shandy': Trim Reading The Sermon by Michael Angelo Rooker. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,316.65), 30% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Michael Angelo Rooker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Battle Abbey Gate, Sussex; And Casars Tower And Kenilworth Castle, Warwickshire in December 2007 with an auction result of GBP 24,500.00 (€ 33,291.34).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 30 % übertroffen
Im November 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Art on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Illustration To 'The Life of Tristram Shandy': Trim Reading The Sermon von Michael Angelo Rooker zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.316,65) und damit 30% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Michael Angelo Rooker erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Battle Abbey Gate, Sussex; And Casars Tower And Kenilworth Castle, Warwickshire im Dezember 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 24.500,00 (€ 33.291,34).
