Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Back View of a Nude Male Model by Edward Hopper was worth USD 35,655.00 (€ 34,057.69) to a buyer in June last year. This price was achieved in the auction The Male Form at Bonhams in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 6,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Hopper achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Chop Suey in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 91,875,000.00 (€ 81,140,157.20).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Back View of a Nude Male Model von Edward Hopper war einem Käufer im Juni letzten Jahres USD 35.655,00 (€ 34.057,69) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion The Male Form bei Bonhams in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 6.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Hopper erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Chop Suey im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 91.875.000,00 (€ 81.140.157,20).
