In November last year Christies in New York held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Orchestral Dominance in Red by Hans Hofmann. The »bidding war« ended at USD 945,000.00 (€ 915,431.56), 35% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Hans Hofmann have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 35 % übertroffen
Im November letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Orchestral Dominance in Red von Hans Hofmann zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 945.000,00 (€ 915.431,56) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Hans Hofmann auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
