A top price for Bruno Schmidt
When the work Untitled (Kenny Beat Off Forever) by Bruno Schmidt was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at USD 4,410.00 (€ 3,786.38). This high result makes Untitled (Kenny Beat Off Forever) the most expensive artwork by Bruno Schmidt that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Bruno Schmidt
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Kenny Beat Off Forever) von Bruno Schmidt im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 4.410,00 (€ 3.786,38) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Untitled (Kenny Beat Off Forever) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Bruno Schmidt, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
