A top price for Marthe Wéry

When this work without title by Marthe Wéry was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 32,500.00 (€ 36,205.98). This high result makes the work without title the most expensive artwork by Marthe Wéry that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Marthe Wéry

Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Marthe Wéry im Oktober 2016 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 32.500,00 (€ 36.205,98) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht das Werk ohne Titel zum teuersten Kunstwerk von Marthe Wéry, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
