A top price for Christoph Lubienietzki
When the work A merry band of travelling musicians by Christoph Lubienietzki was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 18,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 125,000.00 (€ 139,261.09). This high result makes A merry band of travelling musicians the most expensive artwork by Christoph Lubienietzki that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Christoph Lubienietzki
Als die Arbeit A merry band of travelling musicians von Christoph Lubienietzki im Dezember 2018 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 18.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 125.000,00 (€ 139.261,09) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A merry band of travelling musicians zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Christoph Lubienietzki, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
