Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Fritz Koenig achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in December 2021. In the The Collection of Douglas S. Cramer auction, the work Tanzender Centaur sold for USD 40,320.00 (€ 35,624.67) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fritz Koenig achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Große Flora D in December 2016 with an auction result of EUR 568,000.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Fritz Koenig erzielte im Dezember 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Collection of Douglas S. Cramer wurde die Arbeit Tanzender Centaur für USD 40.320,00 (€ 35.624,67) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fritz Koenig erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Große Flora D im Dezember 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 568.000,00.
