This artwork by Michael Angelo Rooker achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in January 2003. In the British and Continental Pictures and Works on Paper auction, the work Wincheslsea Castle, Sussex sold for GBP 2,115.00 (€ 3,239.36) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. 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 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Michael Angelo Rooker erzielte im Januar 2003 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British and Continental Pictures and Works on Paper wurde die Arbeit Wincheslsea Castle, Sussex für GBP 2.115,00 (€ 3.239,36) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.200,00. 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).
