Upper estimate price exceeded by 41 %.
In June 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art Works on Paper and Day Sale Morning including The Analytical Eye: The Branco Weiss Collection, which included the work Schützerin (Protectress) by Paul Klee. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 254,500.00 (€ 297,047.08), 41% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Paul Klee achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bunte Landschaft in November last year with an auction result of USD 4,860,000.00 (€ 4,707,933.74).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 41 % übertroffen
Im Juni 2013 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Works on Paper and Day Sale Morning including The Analytical Eye: The Branco Weiss Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Schützerin (Protectress) von Paul Klee zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 254.500,00 (€ 297.047,08) und damit 41% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Paul Klee erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bunte Landschaft im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 4.860.000,00 (€ 4.707.933,74).
