Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Ralph Rumney achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2016. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Untitled (blue) sold for GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,911.62) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Ralph Rumney; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Tachiste Painting - Red, White, Blue sold at auction in April this year with the realized price of GBP 14,025.00 (€ 15,983.93).
