Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Coat of Arms with a Skull by Albrecht Dürer was sold in the Old Master Prints auction at Christies in New York in January 2017. It changed hands for a price of USD 68,750.00 (€ 63,692.79) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Albrecht Dürer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Christ Being Nailed To The Cross in January 2016 with an auction result of USD 874,000.00 (€ 806,868.54).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Coat of Arms with a Skull von Albrecht Dürer wurde im Januar 2017 in der Auktion Old Master Prints bei Christies in New York versteigert. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 68.750,00 (€ 63.692,79) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Albrecht Dürer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Christ Being Nailed To The Cross im Januar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 874.000,00 (€ 806.868,54).
