Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

When the work Two Owls by Herbert Bayer was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 20,160.00 (€ 17,309.18). Admittedly, works by Herbert Bayer have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Mirage In The Mountains in July 2020 with an auction result of GBP 125,000.00 (€ 139,427.98).

Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Two Owls von Herbert Bayer im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 20.160,00 (€ 17.309,18) mehr als viermal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Herbert Bayer auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Mirage In The Mountains im Juli 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 125.000,00 (€ 139.427,98).
