Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2008 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European Art including Orientalist and Spanish Art, which included the work The Sphinx and Pyramids at Gizeh by Edmund Berninger. The price achieved of GBP 8,750.00 (€ 11,116.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edmund Berninger - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A View of the Bay of Sorrento, which sold at auction in October 2008 for USD 52,500.00 (€ 41,397.26).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European Art including Orientalist and Spanish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Sphinx and Pyramids at Gizeh von Edmund Berninger zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 11.116,97) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Edmund Berninger mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A View of the Bay of Sorrento beobachtet, die im Oktober 2008 für USD 52.500,00 (€ 41.397,26) versteigert wurde.
