The “Bares für Rares” studio bathed this object in bright colors: a rainbow lamp thrilled Horst Lichter and the dealers. Meanwhile, expert Sven Deutschmanek found an answer to an old question.
The lamp belongs to the sisters Jennifer and Ann-Kristin Flörkemeier, who traveled from East Westphalia. Deutschmanek describes it more as a light installation, “it’s an art object.” He dates the piece to the late 1970s. The rainbow lamp was designed by the Italian designer Andrea Bellosi.
The sisters estimate their pain threshold at 1,500 euros – and are therefore well in the middle: the expert estimates the value of the lamp at 1,400 to 1,600 euros.

In keeping with Keith Richards’ 80th birthday, the sisters enter the room to the Rolling Stones song “She’s a Rainbow”. Schmitz-Avila starts with 150 euros. With the exception of Steve Mandel, everyone present takes part in the auction, so the bids initially rise to 1,100 euros.

The saleswomen play poker and demand 1200 euros – David Suppes agrees. So the Flörkemeiers don’t quite get their desired price, but they still return with a hefty sum East Westphalia. The sisters want to use the money to go on vacation with their mother.
