A top price for Michael Ruetz - as previously expected

The work Berlin, Alexanderplatz, 1973Silver Print, Printed 1995. On The Reverse, Signed, Titled, Dated And Annotated In Pencil By The Photographer, And With The Photographer'S 'Authentic Print' Stamp. by Michael Ruetz was auctioned at Sothebys in Paris in May 2011. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of EUR 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of EUR 3,500.00 could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Berlin, Alexanderplatz, 1973Silver Print, Printed 1995. On The Reverse, Signed, Titled, Dated And Annotated In Pencil By The Photographer, And With The Photographer'S 'Authentic Print' Stamp. is the most expensive artwork by Michael Ruetz that we have observed at auctions so far.

Die Arbeit Berlin, Alexanderplatz, 1973Silver Print, Printed 1995. On The Reverse, Signed, Titled, Dated And Annotated In Pencil By The Photographer, And With The Photographer'S 'Authentic Print' Stamp. von Michael Ruetz kam im Mai 2011 bei Sothebys in Paris zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von EUR 3.500,00 konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Berlin, Alexanderplatz, 1973Silver Print, Printed 1995. On The Reverse, Signed, Titled, Dated And Annotated In Pencil By The Photographer, And With The Photographer'S 'Authentic Print' Stamp. das teuerste Kunstwerk von Michael Ruetz, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
