Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Herbert Bayer could be acquired at Christies in New York in May 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Impressionist & Modern Art Works on Paper Sale auction, the work Rising Cloud changed hands for USD 8,750.00 (€ 7,175.66) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Herbert Bayer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mirage In The Mountains in July 2020 with an auction result of GBP 125,000.00 (€ 139,427.98).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Herbert Bayer konnte im Mai 2021 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Works on Paper Sale wechselte die Arbeit Rising Cloud für USD 8.750,00 (€ 7.175,66) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Herbert Bayer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mirage In The Mountains im Juli 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 125.000,00 (€ 139.427,98).
