Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Christ carrying the Cross, from: The Passion by Martin Schongauer was auctioned at Christies in London in July last year. The price achieved of GBP 11,340.00 (€ 13,541.97) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Martin Schongauer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Death of the Virgin in January 2019 with an auction result of USD 492,500.00 (€ 429,980.79).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Christ carrying the Cross, from: The Passion von Martin Schongauer kam im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 11.340,00 (€ 13.541,97) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Martin Schongauer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Death of the Virgin im Januar 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 492.500,00 (€ 429.980,79).
