A top price for Carl Friedrich Lessing
When the work Two Travellers In Prayer At A Shrine In A Wooded River Landscape by Carl Friedrich Lessing was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than nine times as high at GBP 11,875.00 (€ 16,125.68). This high result makes Two Travellers In Prayer At A Shrine In A Wooded River Landscape the most expensive artwork by Carl Friedrich Lessing that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Carl Friedrich Lessing
Als die Arbeit Two Travellers In Prayer At A Shrine In A Wooded River Landscape von Carl Friedrich Lessing im Dezember 2015 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 11.875,00 (€ 16.125,68) mehr als neunmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Two Travellers In Prayer At A Shrine In A Wooded River Landscape zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Carl Friedrich Lessing, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
