A top price for Max Bill

When the work Rote Strahlung (Irradiazione Rossa) by Max Bill was auctioned at Sothebys in Milan in November 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at EUR 321,000.00. This high result makes Rote Strahlung (Irradiazione Rossa) the most expensive artwork by Max Bill that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Max Bill

Als die Arbeit Rote Strahlung (Irradiazione Rossa) von Max Bill im November 2018 bei Sothebys in Mailand versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 321.000,00 mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Rote Strahlung (Irradiazione Rossa) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Max Bill, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
