Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Large Forest With Bullet by Roman Signer was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 5,000.00 (€ 4,058.44). Admittedly, works by Roman Signer have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work 2 räder in February 2007 with an auction result of USD 26,400.00 (€ 19,954.65).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Large Forest With Bullet von Roman Signer im März 2018 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 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 5.000,00 (€ 4.058,44) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Roman Signer auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit 2 räder im Februar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 26.400,00 (€ 19.954,65).
