A top price for August von Siegen - as previously expected
In October 2006 Christies in New York held the auction Orientalist Art, 19th Century European Art, which included the work A Street Scene in the Levant, Afternoon by August von Siegen. The price achieved of USD 31,200.00 (€ 24,426.52) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Street Scene in the Levant, Afternoon is the most expensive artwork by August von Siegen that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Oktober 2006 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Orientalist Art, 19th Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Street Scene in the Levant, Afternoon von August von Siegen zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 31.200,00 (€ 24.426,52) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Street Scene in the Levant, Afternoon das teuerste Kunstwerk von August von Siegen, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
