A top price for Roger Brown
When the work Cloud Cover by Roger Brown was auctioned at Christies in New York in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 252,000.00 (€ 234,833.66). This high result makes Cloud Cover the most expensive artwork by Roger Brown that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Roger Brown
Als die Arbeit Cloud Cover von Roger Brown im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 252.000,00 (€ 234.833,66) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Cloud Cover zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Roger Brown, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
