A top price for Paul Friedrich Meyerheim
When the work German Sideshow Tricks by Paul Friedrich Meyerheim was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 70,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 229,000.00 (€ 147,096.61). This high result makes German Sideshow Tricks the most expensive artwork by Paul Friedrich Meyerheim that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Paul Friedrich Meyerheim
Als die Arbeit German Sideshow Tricks von Paul Friedrich Meyerheim im April 2008 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 70.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 229.000,00 (€ 147.096,61) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht German Sideshow Tricks zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Paul Friedrich Meyerheim, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
