Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Glastrinkerin Female Glass Drinker by Georg Baselitz was sold in the Contemporary Evening Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in May last year. The price achieved of USD 3,680,000.00 (€ 3,429,316.93) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000,000.00 – 5,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Georg Baselitz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Dresdner Frauen – Besuch aus Prag [Women of Dresden – Visit from Prague|AID712205], which sold at auction in May last year for USD 11,240,000.00 (€ 10,474,326.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Glastrinkerin Female Glass Drinker von Georg Baselitz wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion Contemporary Evening Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.680.000,00 (€ 3.429.316,93) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000.000,00 – 5.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Georg Baselitz mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Dresdner Frauen – Besuch aus Prag [Women of Dresden – Visit from Prague|AID712205] beobachtet, die im Mai letzten Jahres für USD 11.240.000,00 (€ 10.474.326,72) versteigert wurde.
