Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Venice (Portfolio I) by Vera Lutter was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in November 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 12,000.00 – 16,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 10,000.00. Admittedly, works by Vera Lutter have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Brooklyn Bridge in October 2005 with an auction result of GBP 48,000.00 (€ 70,785.49).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Venice (Portfolio I) von Vera Lutter im November 2019 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 12.000,00 – 16.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 10.000,00 den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Vera Lutter auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Brooklyn Bridge im Oktober 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 48.000,00 (€ 70.785,49).
