Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2021 Phillips in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Montaigne Series by Lothar Baumgarten. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 8,190.00 (€ 6,807.98) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lothar Baumgarten - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Selected Images, 1968-1972, which sold at auction in April 2006 for USD 26,400.00 (€ 20,912.55).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2021 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Montaigne Series von Lothar Baumgarten zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 8.190,00 (€ 6.807,98) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Lothar Baumgarten mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Selected Images, 1968-1972 beobachtet, die im April 2006 für USD 26.400,00 (€ 20.912,55) versteigert wurde.
