Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
In May last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Modern Day Auction, which included the work Flowering Branch by Hans Hofmann. The »bidding war« ended at USD 201,600.00 (€ 187,866.93), 68% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hans Hofmann achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Leise Zieht Durch Mein Gemüt Liebliches Geläute (Mellow Sound Of Bells Rings Gently Through My Mind) in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 8,597,150.00 (€ 7,592,643.29).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Modern Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Flowering Branch von Hans Hofmann zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 201.600,00 (€ 187.866,93) und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hans Hofmann erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Leise Zieht Durch Mein Gemüt Liebliches Geläute (Mellow Sound Of Bells Rings Gently Through My Mind) im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.597.150,00 (€ 7.592.643,29).
