Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Connections by Anni Albers was auctioned at Phillips in London in January 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,355.47). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Anni Albers - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Second Movement I-VI, which sold at auction in April this year for USD 44,100.00 (€ 39,945.65).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Connections von Anni Albers im Januar 2020 bei Phillips in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 13.750,00 (€ 16.355,47) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Anni Albers mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Second Movement I-VI beobachtet, die im April diesen Jahres für USD 44.100,00 (€ 39.945,65) versteigert wurde.
