Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Selected Images (The Eiffel Tower) by Germaine Krull was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 10,710.00 (€ 10,164.18) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Germaine Krull have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Métal in February 2016 with an auction result of USD 50,000.00 (€ 46,006.62).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Selected Images (The Eiffel Tower) von Germaine Krull kam im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 10.710,00 (€ 10.164,18) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Germaine Krull auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Métal im Februar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 46.006,62).
