Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2005 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait of Paul Boston by Rick Amor for AUD 5,975.00 (€ 3,747.17). This price was achieved in the auction AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS at Christies in Melbourne and was even below the estimate range of AUD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rick Amor achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Australian Evening By The Sea in August 2007 with an auction result of AUD 90,000.00 (€ 53,817.90).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2005 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait of Paul Boston von Rick Amor für AUD 5.975,00 (€ 3.747,17) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion AUSTRALIAN, INTERNATIONAL & CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS bei Christies in Melbourne erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von AUD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rick Amor erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Australian Evening By The Sea im August 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 90.000,00 (€ 53.817,90).
