Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Recumbent African Lioness by Bob Kuhn was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in December 2008. It changed hands for a price of USD 6,875.00 (€ 4,939.29) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bob Kuhn achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Fire Storm in November 2007 with an auction result of USD 657,000.00 (€ 447,303.92).

Die Arbeit Recumbent African Lioness von Bob Kuhn kam im Dezember 2008 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 6.875,00 (€ 4.939,29) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bob Kuhn erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Fire Storm im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 657.000,00 (€ 447.303,92).
