Despite a disappointment, a good price for Hugo Birger
When the work "Badbrygga vid stranden av Engelska kanalen" (Jetty on the beach of the English Channel) by Hugo Birger was auctioned at Bukowski in Stockholm in December 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of SEK 500,000.00 – 600,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for SEK 400,000.00 (€ 45,170.19). Despite this disappointing result, "Badbrygga vid stranden av Engelska kanalen" (Jetty on the beach of the English Channel) is the most expensive artwork by Hugo Birger that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Hugo Birger
Als die Arbeit "Badbrygga vid stranden av Engelska kanalen" (Jetty on the beach of the English Channel) von Hugo Birger im Dezember 2013 bei Bukowski in Stockholm versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von SEK 500.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für SEK 400.000,00 (€ 45.170,19) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist "Badbrygga vid stranden av Engelska kanalen" (Jetty on the beach of the English Channel) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Hugo Birger, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
