Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work PO I by Anni Albers was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in July 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 5,075.00 (€ 4,310.34). Admittedly, works by Anni Albers have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Second Movement I-VI in April this year with an auction result of USD 44,100.00 (€ 39,945.65).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit PO I von Anni Albers im Juli 2020 bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 5.075,00 (€ 4.310,34) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Anni Albers auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Second Movement I-VI im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 44.100,00 (€ 39.945,65).
