Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work 'Saying Grace' And 'Getting Ready For Dinner': Two Paintings by Roger Medearis was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 28,125.00 (€ 20,678.63). Admittedly, works by Roger Medearis have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work In The Big Rock Candy Mountains in June 2020 with an auction result of USD 106,250.00 (€ 94,604.22).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit 'Saying Grace' And 'Getting Ready For Dinner': Two Paintings von Roger Medearis im September 2010 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 28.125,00 (€ 20.678,63) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Roger Medearis auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit In The Big Rock Candy Mountains im Juni 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 106.250,00 (€ 94.604,22).
