Upper estimate price exceeded by 83 %.
This artwork by Lyonel Feininger achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in October this year. In the ExpressionismGermany, Austria and Beyond auction, the work Gelmeroda, from Meistermappe des Staatlichen Bauhauses sold for GBP 6,400.00 (€ 7,348.98) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lyonel Feininger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Jesuiten Iii (Jesuits Iii) in May 2007 with an auction result of USD 23,280,000.00 (€ 17,304,690.40).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Lyonel Feininger erzielte im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion ExpressionismGermany, Austria and Beyond wurde die Arbeit Gelmeroda, from Meistermappe des Staatlichen Bauhauses für GBP 6.400,00 (€ 7.348,98) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lyonel Feininger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Jesuiten Iii (Jesuits Iii) im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 23.280.000,00 (€ 17.304.690,40).
