Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
The work Life by Rowan Gillespie was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2018. It achieved a price of GBP 18,750.00 (€ 21,149.43), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 56%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rowan Gillespie achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work When Hope And History Rhyme in October 2015 with an auction result of GBP 161,000.00 (€ 225,198.79).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Life von Rowan Gillespie kam im November 2018 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 18.750,00 (€ 21.149,43) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 56%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rowan Gillespie erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit When Hope And History Rhyme im Oktober 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 161.000,00 (€ 225.198,79).
