Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2002 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European Art including Ottomans and Orientalist, which included the work Fishing boats in the harbour by Adolf Kaufmann. The price achieved of GBP 1,762.50 (€ 2,726.19) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Adolf Kaufmann - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A faggot gatherer crossing a forest stream, which sold at auction in January 2009 for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 5,909.74).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European Art including Ottomans and Orientalist durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fishing boats in the harbour von Adolf Kaufmann zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.762,50 (€ 2.726,19) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Adolf Kaufmann mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A faggot gatherer crossing a forest stream beobachtet, die im Januar 2009 für GBP 5.250,00 (€ 5.909,74) versteigert wurde.
