Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

When the work Painted Torso, 1988 by Hans Feurer was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 29,800.00 (€ 19,141.83). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Hans Feurer; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot CameraWork Portfolio, 1969-1986 sold at auction in December 2008 with the realized price of USD 35,000.00 (€ 25,145.48).

Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Painted Torso, 1988 von Hans Feurer im April 2008 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 29.800,00 (€ 19.141,83) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Hans Feurer; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit CameraWork Portfolio, 1969-1986 im Dezember 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 35.000,00 (€ 25.145,48).
