A top price for Herbert Bayer
When the work Mirage In The Mountains by Herbert Bayer was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 15 times as high at GBP 125,000.00 (€ 139,427.98). This high result makes Mirage In The Mountains the most expensive artwork by Herbert Bayer that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Herbert Bayer
Als die Arbeit Mirage In The Mountains von Herbert Bayer im Juli 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 125.000,00 (€ 139.427,98) mehr als 15-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Mirage In The Mountains zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Herbert Bayer, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
