Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Alternative Fictions by Terry Rodgers was auctioned at Sothebys in London in February 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 37,500.00 (€ 42,361.40). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Terry Rodgers - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Variable Frequencies of Restraint, which sold at auction in December 2021 for EUR 106,250.00.
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Alternative Fictions von Terry Rodgers im Februar 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 37.500,00 (€ 42.361,40) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Terry Rodgers mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Variable Frequencies of Restraint beobachtet, die im Dezember 2021 für EUR 106.250,00 versteigert wurde.
