A top price for Kalman Kemeny - as previously expected
The work St John'S Wood by Kalman Kemeny was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2005. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,360.00 (€ 4,979.73) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, St John'S Wood is the most expensive artwork by Kalman Kemeny that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit St John'S Wood von Kalman Kemeny kam im Juni 2005 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.360,00 (€ 4.979,73) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist St John'S Wood das teuerste Kunstwerk von Kalman Kemeny, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
