Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

When the work Phantasien über ein altes Haus by Fritz Schwimbeck was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 5,625.00 (€ 6,965.09). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fritz Schwimbeck - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ohne Titel, which sold at auction in February 2013 for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 15,971.40).

Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Phantasien über ein altes Haus von Fritz Schwimbeck im Juni 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.625,00 (€ 6.965,09) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Fritz Schwimbeck 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 Februar 2013 für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 15.971,40) versteigert wurde.
