A top price for Walter Grab - as previously expected

The work So Musste Es Schneien, 1963/64 Thus, It Had To Be Snowing, 1963/64 by Walter Grab was auctioned at Sothebys in Zurich in May 2011. The price achieved of CHF 3,750.00 (€ 3,009.96) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as CHF 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, So Musste Es Schneien, 1963/64 Thus, It Had To Be Snowing, 1963/64 is the most expensive artwork by Walter Grab that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit So Musste Es Schneien, 1963/64 Thus, It Had To Be Snowing, 1963/64 von Walter Grab kam im Mai 2011 bei Sothebys in Zürich zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von CHF 3.750,00 (€ 3.009,96) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit CHF 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist So Musste Es Schneien, 1963/64 Thus, It Had To Be Snowing, 1963/64 das teuerste Kunstwerk von Walter Grab, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
