Upper estimate price exceeded by 62 %.
In February 2015 Christies in London held the auction Impressionist/Modern Works on Paper, which included the work Negertanz by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 242,500.00 (€ 334,371.48), 62% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Berliner Strassenszene (Recto); Bäume (Verso) in November 2006 with an auction result of USD 38,096,000.00 (€ 28,727,848.58).

Im Februar 2015 führte Christies in London die Auktion Impressionist/Modern Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Negertanz von Ernst Ludwig Kirchner zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 242.500,00 (€ 334.371,48) und damit 62% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ernst Ludwig Kirchner erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Berliner Strassenszene (Recto); Bäume (Verso) im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 38.096.000,00 (€ 28.727.848,58).
