Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
In October 2008 Christies in London held the auction Old Master, 19th Century, Modern & Contemporary Prints, which included the work Begegnungen, Verlag Galerie Alfred Flechtheim, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Frankfurt M., 1922 (Hoh 3732-3744) by Werner Schramm. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,186.60), 67% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Werner Schramm achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Der Selbstmörder in June 2018 with an auction result of EUR 42,160.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master, 19th Century, Modern & Contemporary Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit Begegnungen, Verlag Galerie Alfred Flechtheim, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Frankfurt M., 1922 (Hoh 3732-3744) von Werner Schramm zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.186,60) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Werner Schramm erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Der Selbstmörder im Juni 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 42.160,00.
