Auction result well in line with expectations
In November this year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work Blue Horse by Karl Weschke. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,480.00 (€ 5,191.35) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Karl Weschke - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Seated Figure, which sold at auction in July 2012 for GBP 9,375.00 (€ 11,941.23).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Blue Horse von Karl Weschke zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.480,00 (€ 5.191,35) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Karl Weschke mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Seated Figure beobachtet, die im Juli 2012 für GBP 9.375,00 (€ 11.941,23) versteigert wurde.
