A top price for Rupert Spira - as previously expected
The work Large Open Bowl by Rupert Spira was sold in the Modern British & Irish Art Day Sale auction at Christies in London in October last year. The price achieved of GBP 3,528.00 (€ 4,110.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Large Open Bowl is the most expensive artwork by Rupert Spira that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Large Open Bowl von Rupert Spira wurde im Oktober letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern British & Irish Art Day Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.528,00 (€ 4.110,08) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Large Open Bowl das teuerste Kunstwerk von Rupert Spira, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
