Auction result well in line with expectations
In May last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Master Paintings, which included the work Ducks on a Sunny Morning by Alexander Koester. The price achieved of USD 81,900.00 (€ 76,320.94) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 70,000.00 – 90,000.00. Admittedly, works by Alexander Koester have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work German Enten In Teich (Wilde Jagd) in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 455,000.00 (€ 333,577.71).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ducks on a Sunny Morning von Alexander Koester zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 81.900,00 (€ 76.320,94) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 70.000,00 – 90.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alexander Koester auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit German Enten In Teich (Wilde Jagd) im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 455.000,00 (€ 333.577,71).
