A top price for Richmond Burton
When the work Eyes In The Heat by Richmond Burton was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 18,750.00 (€ 16,846.36). This high result makes Eyes In The Heat the most expensive artwork by Richmond Burton that we have observed at auctions so far.

Als die Arbeit Eyes In The Heat von Richmond Burton im Juli 2019 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 18.750,00 (€ 16.846,36) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Eyes In The Heat zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Richmond Burton, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
