Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Selected Images (Nude Studies) by Wilhelm von Gloeden was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 9,450.00 (€ 8,113.68). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wilhelm von Gloeden - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sicilian Youths, Taormina, C.1901, which sold at auction in May 2005 for GBP 14,400.00 (€ 21,258.92).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Selected Images (Nude Studies) von Wilhelm von Gloeden im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 2.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 9.450,00 (€ 8.113,68) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Wilhelm von Gloeden mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sicilian Youths, Taormina, C.1901 beobachtet, die im Mai 2005 für GBP 14.400,00 (€ 21.258,92) versteigert wurde.
