Auction result well in line with expectations
The work In the Court of the Meiji Temple, Tokyo, Japan by Werner Bischof was auctioned at Bonhams in London in October this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 4,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,200.00 (€ 3,028.01) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Werner Bischof - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work White Paper-Roll, Negative Et White Paper-Roll, Positive , 1938, which sold at auction in November 2015 for EUR 8,750.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit In the Court of the Meiji Temple, Tokyo, Japan von Werner Bischof kam im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.200,00 (€ 3.028,01) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Werner Bischof mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit White Paper-Roll, Negative Et White Paper-Roll, Positive , 1938 beobachtet, die im November 2015 für EUR 8.750,00 versteigert wurde.
