A top price for Peter Samuelson
When the work Ray Playing Darts by Peter Samuelson was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 18 times as high at GBP 9,375.00 (€ 12,567.59). This high result makes Ray Playing Darts the most expensive artwork by Peter Samuelson that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Peter Samuelson
Als die Arbeit Ray Playing Darts von Peter Samuelson im Januar 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 9.375,00 (€ 12.567,59) mehr als 18-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Ray Playing Darts zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Peter Samuelson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
