Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2002 a collector was able to acquire the work Delices de la Nature ou Choix de Tout ce que les Trois Regines de la Nature renferment de plus digne des Recherches d'un curieux pour en former un Cabinet ...: Plates C.1-C.4 by Georg Wolfgang Knorr for USD 1,792.50 (€ 1,709.59). This price was achieved in the auction THE HOUSE SALE at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Georg Wolfgang Knorr - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Thesaurus Rei Herbariae Hortensisque Universalis: Eight Plates, which sold at auction in September 2002 for USD 4,182.50 (€ 4,233.73).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2002 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Delices de la Nature ou Choix de Tout ce que les Trois Regines de la Nature renferment de plus digne des Recherches d'un curieux pour en former un Cabinet ...: Plates C.1-C.4 von Georg Wolfgang Knorr für USD 1.792,50 (€ 1.709,59) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion THE HOUSE SALE bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Georg Wolfgang Knorr mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Thesaurus Rei Herbariae Hortensisque Universalis: Eight Plates beobachtet, die im September 2002 für USD 4.182,50 (€ 4.233,73) versteigert wurde.
