Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Water behind glass, 1930 by Willy Otto Zielke was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 10,000.00 (€ 12,720.44). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willy Otto Zielke - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Glas Und Wasser (Verre Et Eau/ Glass And Water), 1929Vintage Silver Print. On The Reverse, Signed And Annotated Aus Der Serie "Glas" By The Photographer In Pencil., which sold at auction in November 2011 for EUR 27,150.00.
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Water behind glass, 1930 von Willy Otto Zielke im Mai 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.000,00 (€ 12.720,44) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Willy Otto Zielke mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Glas Und Wasser (Verre Et Eau/ Glass And Water), 1929Vintage Silver Print. On The Reverse, Signed And Annotated Aus Der Serie "Glas" By The Photographer In Pencil. beobachtet, die im November 2011 für EUR 27.150,00 versteigert wurde.
