Price realised: 6.250 GBP
signed, inscribed and dated 'Ralph Rumney 1964/Zig Zag Syzygy' (on the reverse)
copper and aluminium leaf on board, unframed
18½ x 37¾ in. (47 x 96 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Ralph Rumney achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2014. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Zig Zag Syzygy sold for GBP 6,250.00 (€ 8,045.82) - 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
