gouache and watercolour on paper

Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

When the work Deutsche Kleinstadt bei Tage by Georg Scholz was auctioned at Christies in London in February 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 82,850.00 (€ 98,925.10). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Georg Scholz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Badische Kleinstadt bei Tage in February 2016 with an auction result of GBP 1,202,500.00 (€ 1,540,855.26).

Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Deutsche Kleinstadt bei Tage von Georg Scholz im Februar 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 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 82.850,00 (€ 98.925,10) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Georg Scholz erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Badische Kleinstadt bei Tage im Februar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.202.500,00 (€ 1.540.855,26).
