Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2019 Christies in New York held the auction Outsider and Vernacular Art, which included the work Surreal Lear, January 1991 by Raymond Materson. It changed hands for a price of USD 2,750.00 (€ 2,400.91) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 1,500.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Raymond Materson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Till Death Do Us Part, 1993 in February last year with an auction result of USD 32,500.00 (€ 28,955.81).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Outsider and Vernacular Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Surreal Lear, January 1991 von Raymond Materson zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 2.750,00 (€ 2.400,91) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.500,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Raymond Materson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Till Death Do Us Part, 1993 im Februar letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 32.500,00 (€ 28.955,81).
