Auction result misses estimated price range
In June 2004 a collector was able to acquire the work Attraction (Die Anziehung I) (Sch. 65; W. 75) by Edvard Munch for GBP 11,950.00 (€ 17,785.18). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edvard Munch achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Scream in May 2012 with an auction result of USD 119,922,500.00 (€ 96,993,286.96).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juni 2004 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Attraction (Die Anziehung I) (Sch. 65; W. 75) von Edvard Munch für GBP 11.950,00 (€ 17.785,18) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edvard Munch erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Scream im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 119.922.500,00 (€ 96.993.286,96).
