Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work White Flowers in a White Vase by Robert Kulicke was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in July last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 7,560.00 (€ 7,410.31). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Robert Kulicke; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Zinnias In A Glass Jar On A Light Grey Background sold at auction in April 2013 with the realized price of USD 10,625.00 (€ 8,068.80).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit White Flowers in a White Vase von Robert Kulicke im Juli letzten Jahres 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 2.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 7.560,00 (€ 7.410,31) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Robert Kulicke; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Zinnias In A Glass Jar On A Light Grey Background im April 2013 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 10.625,00 (€ 8.068,80).
