Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Shay Rieger achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in July 2020. In the Contemporary Art | New York auction, the work Village sold for USD 625.00 (€ 530.83) - well above the upper estimate of USD 300.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Shay Rieger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Abstract in April 2020 with an auction result of USD 12,500.00 (€ 11,410.31).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Shay Rieger erzielte im Juli 2020 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Art | New York wurde die Arbeit Village für USD 625,00 (€ 530,83) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 300,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Shay Rieger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Abstract im April 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 11.410,31).
