Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Muta-Morphosis #58, Istanbul by Murat Germen was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2012. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,965.09) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Murat Germen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Muta-morphosis Istanbul collage, which sold at auction in October 2011 for USD 50,000.00 (€ 35,850.00).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Muta-Morphosis #58, Istanbul von Murat Germen kam im April 2012 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.965,09) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Murat Germen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Muta-morphosis Istanbul collage beobachtet, die im Oktober 2011 für USD 50.000,00 (€ 35.850,00) versteigert wurde.
