A top price for Theo Bitter - as previously expected
In June 2014 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction Modern Art, which included the work Family Portrait, My Parents by Theo Bitter. The price achieved of EUR 10,000.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Family Portrait, My Parents is the most expensive artwork by Theo Bitter that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juni 2014 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion Modern Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Family Portrait, My Parents von Theo Bitter zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 10.000,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Family Portrait, My Parents das teuerste Kunstwerk von Theo Bitter, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
