Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Rose 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 16,250.00 (€ 14,600.18). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Richmond Burton; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Eyes In The Heat sold at auction in July 2019 with the realized price of USD 18,750.00 (€ 16,846.36).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Rose 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 16.250,00 (€ 14.600,18) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Richmond Burton; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Eyes In The Heat im Juli 2019 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 18.750,00 (€ 16.846,36).
