A top price for Hasse Persson - as previously expected
In November 2007 Sothebys in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work 'The Rise And Fall Of Studio 54', 1978-1981 by Hasse Persson. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 16,100.00 (€ 22,544.17) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, 'The Rise And Fall Of Studio 54', 1978-1981 is the most expensive artwork by Hasse Persson that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2007 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'The Rise And Fall Of Studio 54', 1978-1981 von Hasse Persson zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 16.100,00 (€ 22.544,17) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist 'The Rise And Fall Of Studio 54', 1978-1981 das teuerste Kunstwerk von Hasse Persson, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
