A top price for Karl Weschke

When the work Seated Figure by Karl Weschke was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 9,375.00 (€ 11,941.23). This high result makes Seated Figure the most expensive artwork by Karl Weschke that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Karl Weschke

Als die Arbeit Seated Figure von Karl Weschke im Juli 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 9.375,00 (€ 11.941,23) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Seated Figure zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Karl Weschke, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
