This artwork by Ludwig Blum achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in December 2011. In the Israeli & International Art auction, the work Eilat sold for USD 23,750.00 (€ 18,307.25) - well above the upper estimate of USD 9,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ludwig Blum - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work View Of Jerusalem, which sold at auction in December 2013 for USD 81,250.00 (€ 58,966.54).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Ludwig Blum erzielte im Dezember 2011 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Israeli & International Art wurde die Arbeit Eilat für USD 23.750,00 (€ 18.307,25) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 9.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Ludwig Blum mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit View Of Jerusalem beobachtet, die im Dezember 2013 für USD 81.250,00 (€ 58.966,54) versteigert wurde.
