Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work An old man with a glass of wine and a pipe; also a companion painting by Otto Kirchner was auctioned at Christies in New York in August 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 800.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 480.00 (€ 389.29). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Otto Kirchner achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A good vintage; and Reading the news in January 2001 with an auction result of GBP 4,935.00 (€ 7,747.65).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit An old man with a glass of wine and a pipe; also a companion painting von Otto Kirchner im August 2005 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 480,00 (€ 389,29) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Otto Kirchner erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A good vintage; and Reading the news im Januar 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.935,00 (€ 7.747,65).
