Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Die Grüne Brücke (The Green Bridge) by Lyonel Feininger was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,500,000.00 – 15,000,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 10,121,000.00 (€ 6,890,659.04). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lyonel Feininger - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Jesuiten Iii (Jesuits Iii), which sold at auction in May 2007 for USD 23,280,000.00 (€ 17,304,690.40).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Die Grüne Brücke (The Green Bridge) von Lyonel Feininger im November 2007 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.500.000,00 – 15.000.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 10.121.000,00 (€ 6.890.659,04) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Lyonel Feininger mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Jesuiten Iii (Jesuits Iii) beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für USD 23.280.000,00 (€ 17.304.690,40) versteigert wurde.
