Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In August 2005 Christies in New York held the auction THE HOUSE SALE, which included the work An old man with a pipe and a glass of sherry; also a companion painting by Otto Kirchner. Here, the upper estimate of USD 1,200.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 1,320.00 (€ 1,070.56). Admittedly, works by Otto Kirchner have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im August 2005 führte Christies in New York die Auktion THE HOUSE SALE durch, in der auch die Arbeit An old man with a pipe and a glass of sherry; also a companion painting von Otto Kirchner zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 1.200,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 1.320,00 (€ 1.070,56) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Otto Kirchner auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A good vintage; and Reading the news im Januar 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.935,00 (€ 7.747,65).
