Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Bernal Heights (Hights) by Raimonds Staprans was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 100,800.00 (€ 85,838.37). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Raimonds Staprans - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Morning Mist, 1986, which sold at auction in September last year for USD 189,375.00 (€ 193,575.59).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Bernal Heights (Hights) von Raimonds Staprans im März 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 100.800,00 (€ 85.838,37) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Raimonds Staprans mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Morning Mist, 1986 beobachtet, die im September letzten Jahres für USD 189.375,00 (€ 193.575,59) versteigert wurde.
