Auction result well in line with expectations
The work German Damascus by Max Schmidt was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2009. The price achieved of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,471.86) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Max Schmidt - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ansicht von Kairo, im Vordergrund ruhende Araber, which sold at auction in October 2008 for EUR 15,860.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit German Damascus von Max Schmidt kam im November 2009 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.471,86) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Max Schmidt mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ansicht von Kairo, im Vordergrund ruhende Araber beobachtet, die im Oktober 2008 für EUR 15.860,00 versteigert wurde.
