Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2014 Sothebys in London held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale, which included the work Composition No. 56 by Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 120,000.00 – 180,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 134,500.00 (€ 163,180.86) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work „Composition No. 42“., which sold at auction in November 2015 for EUR 350,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar 2014 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Composition No. 56 von Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 134.500,00 (€ 163.180,86) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit „Composition No. 42“. beobachtet, die im November 2015 für EUR 350.000,00 versteigert wurde.
