A top price for Robert Marc
When this work without title by Robert Marc was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in November 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 44,062.50 (€ 36,878.56). This high result makes the work without title the most expensive artwork by Robert Marc that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Robert Marc
Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Robert Marc im November 2020 bei Bonhams in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 44.062,50 (€ 36.878,56) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht das Werk ohne Titel zum teuersten Kunstwerk von Robert Marc, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
