Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2006 Phillips in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Part II, which included the work The City Sleeps by Ricky Swallow. The price achieved of USD 18,000.00 (€ 13,573.64) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ricky Swallow - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Rehearsal For Retirement, which sold at auction in November 2015 for USD 31,250.00 (€ 29,587.20).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2006 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Part II durch, in der auch die Arbeit The City Sleeps von Ricky Swallow zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 18.000,00 (€ 13.573,64) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Ricky Swallow mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Rehearsal For Retirement beobachtet, die im November 2015 für USD 31.250,00 (€ 29.587,20) versteigert wurde.
