Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Mickey Mantle, New York-Cincinnati, 1961; Willie Mays steals third, Brooklyn, 1955; and Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn Dodgers, 1954 by Robert Riger was sold in the The House Sale auction at Christies in New York in January 2006. The price achieved of USD 3,840.00 (€ 3,158.41) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Robert Riger - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Green Bay Packers, Forrest Gregg; Johnny Unitas, Green Bay Packers Tackle; and Green Bay Bench 3, which sold at auction in April 2021 for USD 10,837.50 (€ 9,008.73).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Mickey Mantle, New York-Cincinnati, 1961; Willie Mays steals third, Brooklyn, 1955; and Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn Dodgers, 1954 von Robert Riger wurde im Januar 2006 in der Auktion The House Sale bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.840,00 (€ 3.158,41) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Robert Riger mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Green Bay Packers, Forrest Gregg; Johnny Unitas, Green Bay Packers Tackle; and Green Bay Bench 3 beobachtet, die im April 2021 für USD 10.837,50 (€ 9.008,73) versteigert wurde.
