12 x 7 3/8 in. (30.5 x 18.4 cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Otto Friedrich could be acquired at Christies in London in May 2002 for an unexpectedly low price. In the BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL PICTURES auction, the work The seamstress changed hands for GBP 235.00 (€ 368.01) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 300.00 – 400.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Otto Friedrich achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Eitelkeit in April 2015 with an auction result of USD 137,000.00 (€ 122,737.86).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Otto Friedrich konnte im Mai 2002 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL PICTURES wechselte die Arbeit The seamstress für GBP 235,00 (€ 368,01) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 400,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Otto Friedrich erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Eitelkeit im April 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 137.000,00 (€ 122.737,86).
