A top price for B. Werner

When the work Rabbis in a debate by B. Werner was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 6,600.00 (€ 9,736.39). This high result makes Rabbis in a debate the most expensive artwork by B. Werner that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für B. Werner

Als die Arbeit Rabbis in a debate von B. Werner im September 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 6.600,00 (€ 9.736,39) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Rabbis in a debate zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von B. Werner, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
