Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Paar Im Umarmung (Couple Embracing) by Egon Schiele was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2021. The price achieved of USD 315,000.00 (€ 258,323.77) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 250,000.00 – 350,000.00. 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 Paar Im Umarmung (Couple Embracing) von Egon Schiele wurde im Mai 2021 in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 315.000,00 (€ 258.323,77) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 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).
