This artwork by Lyonel Feininger achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November 2012. In the Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper auction, the work Manhattan sold for USD 43,750.00 (€ 33,627.98) - well above the upper estimate of USD 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lyonel Feininger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Jesuiten Iii (Jesuits Iii) in May 2007 with an auction result of USD 23,280,000.00 (€ 17,304,690.40).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Lyonel Feininger erzielte im November 2012 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper wurde die Arbeit Manhattan für USD 43.750,00 (€ 33.627,98) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lyonel Feininger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Jesuiten Iii (Jesuits Iii) im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 23.280.000,00 (€ 17.304.690,40).
