Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.
This artwork by Bernard Cohen achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in September 2017. In the Made in Britain auction, the work The Day The Berlin Wall Went Up sold for GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,701.77) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bernard Cohen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Grey Place in June 2017 with an auction result of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 37,011.44).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Bernard Cohen erzielte im September 2017 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Made in Britain wurde die Arbeit The Day The Berlin Wall Went Up für GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.701,77) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bernard Cohen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Grey Place im Juni 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 32.500,00 (€ 37.011,44).
