Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Reflections In A Sphere, 1924 by Georg Muche was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 75,000.00 (€ 56,956.26). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Georg Muche; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Abstrakte Komposition sold at auction in December 2020 with the realized price of EUR 75,000.00.

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Reflections In A Sphere, 1924 von Georg Muche im April 2013 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 75.000,00 (€ 56.956,26) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Georg Muche; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Abstrakte Komposition im Dezember 2020 mit dem Hammerpreis von EUR 75.000,00.
