Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Urformen der Kunst I by Karl Blossfeldt was auctioned at Phillips in New York in October 2020. It achieved a price of USD 6,250.00 (€ 5,366.19), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Karl Blossfeldt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Equisetum hyemale. Winterschachtelhalm 12-fache Vergrösserung in April 2000 with an auction result of USD 82,250.00 (€ 90,494.00).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Urformen der Kunst I von Karl Blossfeldt kam im Oktober 2020 bei Phillips in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 6.250,00 (€ 5.366,19) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Karl Blossfeldt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Equisetum hyemale. Winterschachtelhalm 12-fache Vergrösserung im April 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 82.250,00 (€ 90.494,00).
