Artwork auctioned at 18 times the upper estimate price
When this work without title by Klaus Richter was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 400.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 18 times as high at USD 7,560.00 (€ 6,490.94). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Klaus Richter; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Smell Your Fingers sold at auction in October 2020 with the realized price of USD 8,190.00 (€ 7,031.85).
Kunstwerk zum 18-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit ohne Titel von Klaus Richter im Oktober 2020 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 400,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 7.560,00 (€ 6.490,94) mehr als 18-mal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Klaus Richter; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Smell Your Fingers im Oktober 2020 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 8.190,00 (€ 7.031,85).
