Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2016 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, which included the work Turkey In The Straw by Karl Knaths. The price achieved of USD 6,250.00 (€ 5,665.34) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Admittedly, works by Karl Knaths have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Lilacs in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 34,000.00 (€ 23,500.14).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2016 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit Turkey In The Straw von Karl Knaths zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 6.250,00 (€ 5.665,34) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Karl Knaths auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Lilacs im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 34.000,00 (€ 23.500,14).
