A top price for Peter Birmann - as previously expected
In April 2015 Christies in New York held the auction 19th Century European Art, which included the work View of Basel and the Rhine Valley from the Quarry in Muttenz by Peter Birmann. The price achieved of USD 50,000.00 (€ 44,794.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, View of Basel and the Rhine Valley from the Quarry in Muttenz is the most expensive artwork by Peter Birmann that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im April 2015 führte Christies in New York die Auktion 19th Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit View of Basel and the Rhine Valley from the Quarry in Muttenz von Peter Birmann zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 44.794,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist View of Basel and the Rhine Valley from the Quarry in Muttenz das teuerste Kunstwerk von Peter Birmann, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
