Despite a disappointment, a good price for Urs Eggenschwyler

When the work Leopards watching zebras by Urs Eggenschwyler was auctioned at Bonhams in London in July this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 768.00 (€ 696.91). Despite this disappointing result, Leopards watching zebras is the most expensive artwork by Urs Eggenschwyler that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Urs Eggenschwyler

Als die Arbeit Leopards watching zebras von Urs Eggenschwyler im Juli diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 768,00 (€ 696,91) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Leopards watching zebras das teuerste Kunstwerk von Urs Eggenschwyler, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
