A top price for Johann Fischer
When the work Der Vater Meines Vorgängers! (The Father Of My Ancestors!); Meine Richtige Mutter, In Jungen Jahren (My Real Mother, In Her Younger Years) by Johann Fischer was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 23,750.00 (€ 28,022.66). This high result makes Der Vater Meines Vorgängers! (The Father Of My Ancestors!); Meine Richtige Mutter, In Jungen Jahren (My Real Mother, In Her Younger Years) the most expensive artwork by Johann Fischer that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Johann Fischer
Als die Arbeit Der Vater Meines Vorgängers! (The Father Of My Ancestors!); Meine Richtige Mutter, In Jungen Jahren (My Real Mother, In Her Younger Years) von Johann Fischer im November 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 23.750,00 (€ 28.022,66) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Der Vater Meines Vorgängers! (The Father Of My Ancestors!); Meine Richtige Mutter, In Jungen Jahren (My Real Mother, In Her Younger Years) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Johann Fischer, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
