Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art | London, which included the work Hauff, Gespensterschiff (Hauff, Ghost Ship) by Alfred Kubin. The price achieved of GBP 6,930.00 (€ 7,695.17) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alfred Kubin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Der letzte König in December 2020 with an auction result of USD 525,000.00 (€ 429,272.28).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art | London durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hauff, Gespensterschiff (Hauff, Ghost Ship) von Alfred Kubin zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.930,00 (€ 7.695,17) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alfred Kubin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Der letzte König im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 525.000,00 (€ 429.272,28).
