Price realised: 4.788 USD
CHRISTIAN BOLTANSKI (1944-2021)
Les élèves de l'école secondaire juive de la grosse Hamburger Strasse, Berlin - Avril - 1938
silver gelatin print with oil pastel and corroded metal box, 1991, signed in pencil on the title card, numbered 5⁄40, in very good condition
Overall: 8 1⁄2 x 9 1⁄4 x 2 3⁄8 in. (216 x 235 x 60 mm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.

In March last year Christies in New York held the auction Contemporary Edition, which included the work Les élèves de l'école secondaire juive de la grosse Hamburger Strasse, Berlin - Avril - 1938 by Christian Boltanski. The »bidding war« ended at USD 4,788.00 (€ 4,316.24), 60% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Christian Boltanski achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Monument (Odessa) in November 2000 with an auction result of USD 138,000.00 (€ 158,730.16).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 60 % übertroffen

Im März letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Contemporary Edition durch, in der auch die Arbeit Les élèves de l'école secondaire juive de la grosse Hamburger Strasse, Berlin - Avril - 1938 von Christian Boltanski zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 4.788,00 (€ 4.316,24) und damit 60% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Christian Boltanski erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Monument (Odessa) im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 138.000,00 (€ 158.730,16).
