Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November this year Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts held the auction Dance of Death, which included the work Portrait de femme by Hans Bellmer. Here, the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 8,320.00 (€ 7,627.43). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hans Bellmer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Self-Portrait With Die Puppe in October 2012 with an auction result of USD 374,500.00 (€ 289,010.65).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts die Auktion Dance of Death durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait de femme von Hans Bellmer zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 8.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 8.320,00 (€ 7.627,43) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hans Bellmer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Self-Portrait With Die Puppe im Oktober 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 374.500,00 (€ 289.010,65).
