Nadine and Adrian want to get rid of a picture on “Bares for Rares”. Both of them did not expect such a high value. For a photo by the well-known photographer Thomas Ruff, the dealers are even willing to put four-digit sums on the table.

Pulheim – Fascinating rarities keep ending up on the dealers’ table on the ZDF show “Bares for Rares”. Including a photo by the Düsseldorf photographer Thomas Ruff. The picture of the woman in underwear finds a new owner for a proud, four-digit price.

Photo by Thomas Ruff worth 2400 to 2800 euros

Nadine and Adrian want to get rid of a party photo that they can’t quite estimate the value of. The image shows a woman’s body in underwear and high heels, and was shot and signed by none other than photographer Thomas Ruff. Nadine is said to have received the framed photo with signature as a gift. What she could only guess at the time, the picture has a very high value.

This is also confirmed by expert Colmar Schulte-Goltz (49), who estimates the value of this photo at 2400 to 2800 euros. The dealers are also vying for the piece. Markus Wildhagen (56), Christian Vechtel (47), Susanne Steiger (39) and David Suppes (34) offer themselves up every second.
