Auction result misses estimated price range
In May last year a collector was able to acquire the work Half length portrait of a bearded Gentleman by Josef Kriehuber for USD 378.00 (€ 352.25). This price was achieved in the auction Master Paintings and Drawings Part II at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 600.00 – 800.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Josef Kriehuber achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Baron von Tettenborn in June 2008 with an auction result of GBP 8,750.00 (€ 11,060.29).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Half length portrait of a bearded Gentleman von Josef Kriehuber für USD 378,00 (€ 352,25) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Master Paintings and Drawings Part II bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 600,00 – 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Josef Kriehuber erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Baron von Tettenborn im Juni 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 11.060,29).
