"Bares for Rares" - Horst Lichter is amazed: Expert conjures up a rainbow in the "Bares für Rares" studio
On entering the"Bares für Rares" studio, Horst Lichter immediately makes a faux pas. "You've gone through the rainbow," he is reprimanded by Sven Deutschmanek. The expert has darkened the room and is trying out the lamp he is supposed to be inspecting. There is at least one good thing about the presenter walking through the cone of light: Deutschmanek has always wondered where the rainbow ends. Now he knows: "At the spleen."
The light belongs to sisters Jennifer and Ann-Kristin Flörkemeier, who have 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 put their pain threshold at 1,500 euros - well in the middle: The expert estimates the value of the lamp at between 1400 and 1600 euros.
"Bares für Rares": All five dealers admire the rainbow
Meanwhile, in the dealers' room, Julian Schmitz-Avila demonstrates what the lamp can do and casts a rainbow on the back wall of the bidding table. All five dealers have left their seats and admire the spectacle.
In keeping with Keith Richard's 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 and the bids initially rise to 1100 euros.
The sellers play poker and demand 1200 euros - David Suppes agrees. Although the Flörkemeiers did not quite get their desired price, they still returned to East Westphalia with a handsome sum. The sisters want to use the money to go on vacation with their mother.

In the dealers' room, Julian Schmitz-Avila from East Westphalia demonstrates the capabilities of the rainbow lamp, subsequently gaining admiration from all five dealers. The sisters had initially set a minimum price of 1,500 euros for their lamp, but after a lively bidding war, they settled with renowned dealer David Suppes for 1,200 euros, returning with a substantial sum for their vacation plans.
During the auction, the Flörkemeier sisters entered the room to the sound of the Rolling Stones' "She's a Rainbow," reminiscent of Keith Richard's birthday. Prior to the auction, Sven Deutschmanek, the expert in charge of appraising the rainbow lamp, dated it back to the late 1970s and determined its value to be between 1,400 and 1,600 euros.
Aside from the bidding, Horst Lichter, the presenter of the show, expressed his amazement at the expert conjuring a rainbow in the "Bares für Rares" studio. He noted that the lamp was an art object and admired its design by Italian designer Andrea Bellosi.
