Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction The European Art Sale, which included the work Ducks In Sunlight by Alexander Koester. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 25,200.00 (€ 20,665.90) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexander Koester achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work German Enten In Teich (Wilde Jagd) in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 455,000.00 (€ 333,577.71).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion The European Art Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ducks In Sunlight von Alexander Koester zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 25.200,00 (€ 20.665,90) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alexander Koester erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit German Enten In Teich (Wilde Jagd) im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 455.000,00 (€ 333.577,71).
