Auction result well in line with expectations

In June 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art Works on Paper and Day Sale Morning including The Analytical Eye: The Branco Weiss Collection, which included the work Composition by Lajos Kassák. The price achieved of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,507.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lajos Kassák - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Dinamika, which sold at auction in June this year for EUR 52,920.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juni 2013 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Works on Paper and Day Sale Morning including The Analytical Eye: The Branco Weiss Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Composition von Lajos Kassák zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 17.507,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Lajos Kassák mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Dinamika beobachtet, die im Juni diesen Jahres für EUR 52.920,00 versteigert wurde.
