Louis Kronberg (AMERICAN, 1872-1965)
The sisters
signed 'KRONBERG' (lower right)
oil on canvas
13 x 14¾ in. (33 x 37.5 cm.)

Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work The sisters by Louis Kronberg was auctioned at Christies in London in August 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 3,120.00 (€ 4,639.64). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Louis Kronberg - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ballet in White, which sold at auction in September 2011 for USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,294.37).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The sisters von Louis Kronberg im August 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.120,00 (€ 4.639,64) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Louis Kronberg mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ballet in White beobachtet, die im September 2011 für USD 12.500,00 (€ 9.294,37) versteigert wurde.
