Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In November last year Bonhams in London held the auction The Astute EyeContemporary Art from a Private London Collector Online, which included the work Défi à Newton by Arman. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 3,187.50 (€ 3,693.58). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Accord Majeur, 1962 in January 2008 with an auction result of EUR 371,760.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im November letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion The Astute EyeContemporary Art from a Private London Collector Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Défi à Newton von Arman zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 3.187,50 (€ 3.693,58) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Accord Majeur, 1962 im Januar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 371.760,00.
