Sold at the upper estimate price
In May 2017 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work On The Ropes by Robert Riggs. The auction ended at the price of USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,349.95), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Riggs achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Boxers in December 2005 with an auction result of USD 204,000.00 (€ 172,268.20).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im Mai 2017 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit On The Ropes von Robert Riggs zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 13.349,95) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Riggs erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Boxers im Dezember 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 204.000,00 (€ 172.268,20).
