Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Untitled (pink) by Ralph Rumney was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 9,375.00 (€ 11,139.53). 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).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Untitled (pink) von Ralph Rumney im Juli 2016 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 9.375,00 (€ 11.139,53) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Ralph Rumney; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Tachiste Painting - Red, White, Blue im April diesen Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 14.025,00 (€ 15.983,93).
