Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
In April last year Sothebys in Cologne held the auction Modern & Contemporary Auction, which included the work Capri Batterie by Joseph Beuys. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 15,120.00 68% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Beuys achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Zeitpunkt: Das Massaker von Muenchen (Point of time: The Massacre of Munich) in February 2016 with an auction result of GBP 854,500.00 (€ 1,094,936.23).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
Im April letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in Köln die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Capri Batterie von Joseph Beuys zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 15.120,00 und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Beuys erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Zeitpunkt: Das Massaker von Muenchen (Point of time: The Massacre of Munich) im Februar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 854.500,00 (€ 1.094.936,23).
