Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In April 2018 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction Post-War and Contemporary Art, which included the work Das Strassenbild (The Streetscape) by Georg Baselitz. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 35,000.00 17% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Georg Baselitz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dresdner Frauen – Besuch aus Prag [Women of Dresden – Visit from Prague|AID712205] in May last year with an auction result of USD 11,240,000.00 (€ 10,474,326.72).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im April 2018 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Das Strassenbild (The Streetscape) von Georg Baselitz zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 35.000,00 und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Georg Baselitz erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Dresdner Frauen – Besuch aus Prag [Women of Dresden – Visit from Prague|AID712205] im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 11.240.000,00 (€ 10.474.326,72).
