Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Pierrot lunaire by Markus Lüpertz was sold in the Post-War & Contemporary Art auction at Bonhams in London in June this year. The price achieved of GBP 82,950.00 (€ 96,539.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 70,000.00 – 100,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Markus Lüpertz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Arrangement für eine Mütze I- dithyrambisch (Arrangement for a Cap I- dithyrambic), which sold at auction in October 2020 for GBP 300,000.00 (€ 333,124.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Pierrot lunaire von Markus Lüpertz wurde im Juni diesen Jahres in der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 82.950,00 (€ 96.539,52) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 70.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Markus Lüpertz mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Arrangement für eine Mütze I- dithyrambisch (Arrangement for a Cap I- dithyrambic) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2020 für GBP 300.000,00 (€ 333.124,41) versteigert wurde.
