A top price for Richard Bell - as previously expected
The work Pigeon Holed by Richard Bell was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2019. The price achieved of USD 47,500.00 (€ 42,308.72) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Pigeon Holed is the most expensive artwork by Richard Bell that we have observed at auctions so far.

Die Arbeit Pigeon Holed von Richard Bell kam im Dezember 2019 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 47.500,00 (€ 42.308,72) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Pigeon Holed das teuerste Kunstwerk von Richard Bell, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
