Despite a disappointment, a good price for Martin Johann Schmidt
When the work Saint Florian Rescuing The Burning Stockern Castle; Saint John Nepomuk by Martin Johann Schmidt was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 92,500.00 (€ 70,864.94). Despite this disappointing result, Saint Florian Rescuing The Burning Stockern Castle; Saint John Nepomuk is the most expensive artwork by Martin Johann Schmidt that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Martin Johann Schmidt
Als die Arbeit Saint Florian Rescuing The Burning Stockern Castle; Saint John Nepomuk von Martin Johann Schmidt im Januar 2012 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 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 92.500,00 (€ 70.864,94) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Saint Florian Rescuing The Burning Stockern Castle; Saint John Nepomuk das teuerste Kunstwerk von Martin Johann Schmidt, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
