Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Herbert Bayer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2020. In the Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale auction, the work Grey, Blue, White (Sputnik) sold for GBP 9,375.00 (€ 10,457.10) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Herbert Bayer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mirage In The Mountains in July 2020 with an auction result of GBP 125,000.00 (€ 139,427.98).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Herbert Bayer erzielte im Juli 2020 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Grey, Blue, White (Sputnik) für GBP 9.375,00 (€ 10.457,10) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 4.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Herbert Bayer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mirage In The Mountains im Juli 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 125.000,00 (€ 139.427,98).
