Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Weiss, Schlägt Mein Herz (White, Beats My Heart) by Ella Bergmann-Michel was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 7,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 25,000.00 (€ 21,163.13). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ella Bergmann-Michel - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Spektralfall: B234, which sold at auction in September 2017 for USD 68,750.00 (€ 58,198.59).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Weiss, Schlägt Mein Herz (White, Beats My Heart) von Ella Bergmann-Michel im September 2017 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 7.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 25.000,00 (€ 21.163,13) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Ella Bergmann-Michel mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Spektralfall: B234 beobachtet, die im September 2017 für USD 68.750,00 (€ 58.198,59) versteigert wurde.
