Auction result misses estimated price range

In September this year a collector was able to acquire the work Figure by Franz Kline for USD 37,800.00 (€ 35,714.29). This price was achieved in the auction Post-War to Present at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Franz Kline achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work without title in November 2012 with an auction result of USD 40,402,500.00 (€ 31,054,957.72).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im September diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Figure von Franz Kline für USD 37.800,00 (€ 35.714,29) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Post-War to Present bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Franz Kline erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ohne Titel im November 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 40.402.500,00 (€ 31.054.957,72).
