Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Liegendes kind by Egon Schiele was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Art auction at Bonhams in London in April last year. The price achieved of GBP 63,300.00 (€ 75,483.01) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Egon Schiele achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Häuser Mit Bunter Wäsche (Vorstadt Ii) Houses With Laundry (Suburb Ii) in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 24,681,250.00 (€ 27,305,215.43).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Liegendes kind von Egon Schiele wurde im April letzten Jahres in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 63.300,00 (€ 75.483,01) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Egon Schiele erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Häuser Mit Bunter Wäsche (Vorstadt Ii) Houses With Laundry (Suburb Ii) im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 24.681.250,00 (€ 27.305.215,43).
