Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2014 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Day Auction, which included this untitled work by Martin Kobe. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 62,500.00 (€ 45,821.11) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Martin Kobe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Rudera, which sold at auction in May 2008 for USD 205,000.00 (€ 131,748.07).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2014 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Martin Kobe zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 45.821,11) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Martin Kobe mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Rudera beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für USD 205.000,00 (€ 131.748,07) versteigert wurde.
