Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Positive and Negative by Konrad Cramer was sold in the Modern American Art auction at Christies in New York in April this year. Here, the upper estimate of USD 25,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 27,720.00 (€ 25,108.70). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Konrad Cramer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Abstraction, which sold at auction in May 2019 for USD 100,000.00 (€ 89,694.14).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Positive and Negative von Konrad Cramer wurde im April diesen Jahres in der Auktion Modern American Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 25.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 27.720,00 (€ 25.108,70) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Konrad Cramer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Abstraction beobachtet, die im Mai 2019 für USD 100.000,00 (€ 89.694,14) versteigert wurde.
