A top price for Max Weber - as previously expected
The work New York by Max Weber was sold in the American Art auction at Christies in New York in May 2016. The price achieved of USD 1,925,000.00 (€ 1,728,783.12) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 1,500,000.00 – 2,500,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, New York is the most expensive artwork by Max Weber that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit New York von Max Weber wurde im Mai 2016 in der Auktion American Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 1.925.000,00 (€ 1.728.783,12) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 1.500.000,00 – 2.500.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist New York das teuerste Kunstwerk von Max Weber, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
