Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Figures On An Eastern Street; And Another Similar by August Siegen was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2014. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,200.00 (€ 3,899.26) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by August Siegen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A busy Northern European port; and Another similar, which sold at auction in February 2012 for GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,940.26).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Figures On An Eastern Street; And Another Similar von August Siegen kam im Januar 2014 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.200,00 (€ 3.899,26) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von August Siegen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A busy Northern European port; and Another similar beobachtet, die im Februar 2012 für GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.940,26) versteigert wurde.
