A top price for Knut Ekwall - as previously expected
In June 2009 Sothebys in London held the auction 19th Century European Paintings including German, Austrian & Central European Paintings, The Orientalist Sale, Spanish Painting and The Scandinavian Sale, which included the work Swedish The Chess Game by Knut Ekwall. The price achieved of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,734.66) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Swedish The Chess Game is the most expensive artwork by Knut Ekwall that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juni 2009 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 19th Century European Paintings including German, Austrian & Central European Paintings, The Orientalist Sale, Spanish Painting and The Scandinavian Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Swedish The Chess Game von Knut Ekwall zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.734,66) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Swedish The Chess Game das teuerste Kunstwerk von Knut Ekwall, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
