A top price for Naftali Bezem - as previously expected
In May 2000 Christies in New York held the auction Impressionist, 20th Century and Contemporary Art, which included the work Blessing in the Sinai Desert by Naftali Bezem. The price achieved of USD 4,700.00 (€ 5,038.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Blessing in the Sinai Desert is the most expensive artwork by Naftali Bezem that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai 2000 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Impressionist, 20th Century and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Blessing in the Sinai Desert von Naftali Bezem zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 4.700,00 (€ 5.038,59) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Blessing in the Sinai Desert das teuerste Kunstwerk von Naftali Bezem, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
