Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2013 Christies in New York held the auction The Collection of Arthur & Charlotte Vershbow Part Four, which included the work Kirchner-Zeichnungen. Dresden: Ernst Arnold, 1925. by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. It changed hands for a price of USD 375.00 (€ 275.86) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 300.00 – 400.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Berliner Strassenszene (Recto); Bäume (Verso) in November 2006 with an auction result of USD 38,096,000.00 (€ 28,727,848.58).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2013 führte Christies in New York die Auktion The Collection of Arthur & Charlotte Vershbow Part Four durch, in der auch die Arbeit Kirchner-Zeichnungen. Dresden: Ernst Arnold, 1925. von Ernst Ludwig Kirchner zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 375,00 (€ 275,86) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 300,00 – 400,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ernst Ludwig Kirchner erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Berliner Strassenszene (Recto); Bäume (Verso) im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 38.096.000,00 (€ 28.727.848,58).
