A top price for Franziska Holstein
When the work Untitled: Fifteen Paintings by Franziska Holstein was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,937.59). This high result makes Untitled: Fifteen Paintings the most expensive artwork by Franziska Holstein that we have observed at auctions so far.

Als die Arbeit Untitled: Fifteen Paintings von Franziska Holstein im April 2017 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.937,59) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Untitled: Fifteen Paintings zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Franziska Holstein, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
