Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Crosstown by Franz Kline was sold in the The Macklowe Collection auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2021. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 12,000,000.00 – 18,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 12,041,250.00 (€ 10,668,246.66) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Franz Kline - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in November 2012 for USD 40,402,500.00 (€ 31,054,957.72).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Crosstown von Franz Kline wurde im November 2021 in der Auktion The Macklowe Collection bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000.000,00 – 18.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 12.041.250,00 (€ 10.668.246,66) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Franz Kline mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im November 2012 für USD 40.402.500,00 (€ 31.054.957,72) versteigert wurde.
