Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2007 Christies in New York held the auction Prints and Multiples, which included the work Selbstbildnis (K. 198; Kn. 209) by Käthe Kollwitz. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 5,040.00 (€ 3,746.38) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Käthe Kollwitz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work „Abschied“. in October 2018 with an auction result of EUR 437,500.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Prints and Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Selbstbildnis (K. 198; Kn. 209) von Käthe Kollwitz zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 5.040,00 (€ 3.746,38) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Käthe Kollwitz erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit „Abschied“. im Oktober 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 437.500,00.
