Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
In December last year Bonhams held the auction Prints and Multiples, which included the work Kerze II by Gerhard Richter. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 101,100.00 (€ 114,132.05), 26% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gerhard Richter achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Abstraktes Bild in February 2015 with an auction result of GBP 30,389,000.00 (€ 41,901,917.57).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Im Dezember letzten Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Prints and Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Kerze II von Gerhard Richter zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 101.100,00 (€ 114.132,05) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gerhard Richter erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Abstraktes Bild im Februar 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 30.389.000,00 (€ 41.901.917,57).
