Artwork auctioned at ten times the upper estimate price
When this work without title 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 300.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at USD 3,024.00 (€ 2,596.38). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Bruno Schmidt; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Untitled (Kenny Beat Off Forever) sold at auction in October 2020 with the realized price of USD 4,410.00 (€ 3,786.38).
Kunstwerk zum Zehnfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit ohne Titel 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 300,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 3.024,00 (€ 2.596,38) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Bruno Schmidt; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Untitled (Kenny Beat Off Forever) im Oktober 2020 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 4.410,00 (€ 3.786,38).
