Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.

This artwork by Elfriede Stegemeyer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in May 2008. In the Collection of Corbeau et Renard auction, the work Otto's Hand sold for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,360.22) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Elfriede Stegemeyer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sans titre, Face Behing Steamy Window, 1935, which sold at auction in November 2012 for EUR 23,750.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Elfriede Stegemeyer erzielte im Mai 2008 bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Collection of Corbeau et Renard wurde die Arbeit Otto's Hand für GBP 5.000,00 (€ 6.360,22) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Elfriede Stegemeyer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sans titre, Face Behing Steamy Window, 1935 beobachtet, die im November 2012 für EUR 23.750,00 versteigert wurde.
