Upper estimate price exceeded by 96 %.

This artwork by Johann König achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January last year. In the Old Master & British Drawings auction, the work Job on the dung heap with his three friends and other figures in a stormy landscape sold for USD 13,750.00 (€ 12,263.65) - well above the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Johann König achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Saint Georges Terrassant Le Dragon in June 2009 with an auction result of EUR 772,646.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 96 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Johann König erzielte im Januar letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings wurde die Arbeit Job on the dung heap with his three friends and other figures in a stormy landscape für USD 13.750,00 (€ 12.263,65) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Johann König erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Saint Georges Terrassant Le Dragon im Juni 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 772.646,00.
