Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
The work The Hand (Red Painting) The Blue Hand by Hans Hofmann was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year. It achieved a price of USD 453,600.00 (€ 422,700.59), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 51%. 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 51 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Hand (Red Painting) The Blue Hand von Hans Hofmann kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 453.600,00 (€ 422.700,59) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 51%. 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).
