This artwork by Albrecht Dürer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2015. In the Old Master Prints auction, the work The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse, From: The Apocalypse sold for GBP 27,500.00 (€ 37,343.68) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Albrecht Dürer erzielte im Dezember 2015 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Prints wurde die Arbeit The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse, From: The Apocalypse für GBP 27.500,00 (€ 37.343,68) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 15.000,00. 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).
