Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Akrobatentruppe by George Grosz was sold in the ExpressionismGermany, Austria and Beyond auction at Bonhams in London in October this year. The price achieved of GBP 21,760.00 (€ 24,986.53) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 18,000.00 – 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Grosz achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gefährliche Straße in February 2020 with an auction result of GBP 9,740,250.00 (€ 11,288,971.84).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Akrobatentruppe von George Grosz wurde im Oktober diesen Jahres in der Auktion ExpressionismGermany, Austria and Beyond bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 21.760,00 (€ 24.986,53) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 18.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Grosz erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gefährliche Straße im Februar 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 9.740.250,00 (€ 11.288.971,84).
