A top price for Else Bostelmann - as previously expected
The work Saber-Toothed Viper Fish by Else Bostelmann was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2012. The auction ended at the price of USD 3,000.00 (€ 2,275.14), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Saber-Toothed Viper Fish is the most expensive artwork by Else Bostelmann that we have observed at auctions so far.
