Beuys Bag Sells for €450 on Bares für Rares as Expert Checks Reshape Outcomes

This week’s reports underscore authentication driving bids across rerun segments, from a signed 1971 collectible to risk‑averse dealer decisions.

Overview

  • A Joseph Beuys plastic bag from a 1971 art action, authenticated by Friederike Werner, sold to dealer Anaisio Guedes for €450 in a rebroadcast of a 6 May episode.
  • A supposed heirloom ring tested as 333 gold with zircon rather than diamond, leaving roughly €100 in material value and no dealer card, with Wendela Horz sharing a simple at‑home check.
  • A rare Loetz jardinière found for 10 Danish kroner was valued at €1,800–2,000 and sold for €2,200 to Fabian Kahl.
  • A silver tray inlaid with 30 coins carried a material value of €5,590 and an expert estimate of €14,000–15,000 yet left in a three‑dealer joint purchase for €9,000.
  • Dealer caution shaped other outcomes as a 2‑carat ring went unsold after an €8,500 offer was declined and a painting was withheld from the dealer room due to a firm price floor.
