A top price for Hans Christian Berg - as previously expected

The work Visual Vortex - Oily Colours Spiral I by Hans Christian Berg was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2008. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 15,900.55) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Visual Vortex - Oily Colours Spiral I is the most expensive artwork by Hans Christian Berg that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Visual Vortex - Oily Colours Spiral I von Hans Christian Berg kam im Mai 2008 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 15.900,55) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Visual Vortex - Oily Colours Spiral I das teuerste Kunstwerk von Hans Christian Berg, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
