Upper estimate price exceeded by 76 %.
This artwork by Albrecht Dürer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts in November this year. In the Dance of Death auction, the work The Coat of Arms with the Skull sold for USD 14,080.00 (€ 12,907.96) - well above the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Albrecht Dürer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Christ Being Nailed To The Cross in January 2016 with an auction result of USD 874,000.00 (€ 806,868.54).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Albrecht Dürer erzielte im November diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Dance of Death wurde die Arbeit The Coat of Arms with the Skull für USD 14.080,00 (€ 12.907,96) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Albrecht Dürer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Christ Being Nailed To The Cross im Januar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 874.000,00 (€ 806.868,54).
