A top price for Richard Gerstl
When the work Dame Mit Federhut by Richard Gerstl was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 800,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 3,722,000.00 (€ 3,523,953.80). This high result makes Dame Mit Federhut the most expensive artwork by Richard Gerstl that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Richard Gerstl
Als die Arbeit Dame Mit Federhut von Richard Gerstl im November 2015 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 800.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 3.722.000,00 (€ 3.523.953,80) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Dame Mit Federhut zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Richard Gerstl, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
