Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Holy Rock, Jerusalem by Carl Friedrich Heinrich Werner was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 60,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 209,000.00 (€ 233,211.91). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Carl Friedrich Heinrich Werner - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Wailing Wall, Jerusalem, which sold at auction in October 2021 for GBP 499,000.00 (€ 591,180.23).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Holy Rock, Jerusalem von Carl Friedrich Heinrich Werner im Juli 2017 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 60.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 209.000,00 (€ 233.211,91) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Carl Friedrich Heinrich Werner mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Wailing Wall, Jerusalem beobachtet, die im Oktober 2021 für GBP 499.000,00 (€ 591.180,23) versteigert wurde.
