A top price for Hannes Beckmann - as previously expected
In October last year Bonhams in London held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art, which included the work Eight Times Ten by Hannes Beckmann. The price achieved of GBP 7,650.00 (€ 8,912.17) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 6,500.00 – 9,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Eight Times Ten is the most expensive artwork by Hannes Beckmann that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Eight Times Ten von Hannes Beckmann zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 7.650,00 (€ 8.912,17) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 6.500,00 – 9.500,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Eight Times Ten das teuerste Kunstwerk von Hannes Beckmann, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
