A top price for Michal Rovner
When the work Shayara by Michal Rovner was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 14 times as high at USD 100,000.00 (€ 88,245.68). This high result makes Shayara the most expensive artwork by Michal Rovner that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Michal Rovner
Als die Arbeit Shayara von Michal Rovner im Oktober 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 100.000,00 (€ 88.245,68) mehr als 14-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Shayara zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Michal Rovner, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
