Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Georg Baselitz could be acquired at Christies in New York in May last year for an unexpectedly low price. In the 20th Century Evening Sale auction, the work Spekulatius changed hands for USD 7,832,500.00 (€ 7,298,946.98) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 8,500,000.00 – 10,000,000.00. Other works by Georg Baselitz have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in May last year by the work Dresdner Frauen – Besuch aus Prag [Women of Dresden – Visit from Prague|AID712205] at USD 11,240,000.00 (€ 10,474,326.72).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Georg Baselitz konnte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden.
