Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2017 Christies in New York held the auction Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale, which included the work Studie zum David by Karl Geiser. Here, the upper estimate of USD 8,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 8,750.00 (€ 7,354.18). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Karl Geiser - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Stehender, weiblicher Akt (Doris), nach 1942, which sold at auction in September 2018 for CHF 25,000.00 (€ 22,044.40).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2017 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Studie zum David von Karl Geiser zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 8.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 8.750,00 (€ 7.354,18) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Karl Geiser mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Stehender, weiblicher Akt (Doris), nach 1942 beobachtet, die im September 2018 für CHF 25.000,00 (€ 22.044,40) versteigert wurde.
