Auction result misses estimated price range
In July 2020 a collector was able to acquire the work Mercedes (Carles) Matter by Herbert Matter for USD 750.00 (€ 637.00). This price was achieved in the auction Legends, Landscapes, and Lovelies | Photographs at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juli 2020 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Mercedes (Carles) Matter von Herbert Matter für USD 750,00 (€ 637,00) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Legends, Landscapes, and Lovelies | Photographs bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. 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).
