Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Aerial View of Ocean by Herbert Matter was sold in the Photographs Now The Collector's Edition auction at Bonhams in London in July this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,024.00 (€ 929.22) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Herbert Matter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work PKZ in June 2015 with an auction result of GBP 6,875.00 (€ 9,693.66).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Aerial View of Ocean von Herbert Matter wurde im Juli diesen Jahres in der Auktion Photographs Now The Collector's Edition bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.024,00 (€ 929,22) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Herbert Matter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit PKZ im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.875,00 (€ 9.693,66).
