A top price for Carl Joseph Geiger - as previously expected
In November 2002 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European Art Including Orientalist Pictures, which included the work Mozart directing imaginary actors from the operas 'Don Giovanni' and 'The Magic Flute' by Carl Joseph Geiger. The price achieved of GBP 2,585.00 (€ 4,047.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Mozart directing imaginary actors from the operas 'Don Giovanni' and 'The Magic Flute' is the most expensive artwork by Carl Joseph Geiger that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European Art Including Orientalist Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mozart directing imaginary actors from the operas 'Don Giovanni' and 'The Magic Flute' von Carl Joseph Geiger zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.585,00 (€ 4.047,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Mozart directing imaginary actors from the operas 'Don Giovanni' and 'The Magic Flute' das teuerste Kunstwerk von Carl Joseph Geiger, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
