A top price for Richard T. Cooper
When the work The Boat Race Centenary by Richard T. Cooper was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 9,375.00 (€ 11,656.17). This high result makes The Boat Race Centenary the most expensive artwork by Richard T. Cooper that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Richard T. Cooper
Als die Arbeit The Boat Race Centenary von Richard T. Cooper im Oktober 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 9.375,00 (€ 11.656,17) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Boat Race Centenary zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Richard T. Cooper, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
