A top price for Constantin Kluge
When the work Le Pont Neuf by Constantin Kluge was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 25,000.00 (€ 18,390.47). This high result makes Le Pont Neuf the most expensive artwork by Constantin Kluge that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Constantin Kluge
Als die Arbeit Le Pont Neuf von Constantin Kluge im Oktober 2013 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 25.000,00 (€ 18.390,47) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Le Pont Neuf zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Constantin Kluge, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
