A top price for Carl Graeb - as previously expected
The work Interior of the Cathedral of Freiberg by Carl Graeb was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 12,000.00 – 1,800,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 17,500.00 (€ 15,862.94) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Interior of the Cathedral of Freiberg is the most expensive artwork by Carl Graeb that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Interior of the Cathedral of Freiberg von Carl Graeb kam im Juni 2016 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 1.800.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 17.500,00 (€ 15.862,94) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Interior of the Cathedral of Freiberg das teuerste Kunstwerk von Carl Graeb, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
