Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Warten ! (Waiting), circa 1928-1932 by Heinz Hajek-Halke was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 8,750.00 (€ 9,926.99). Admittedly, works by Heinz Hajek-Halke have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Erotik - ganz gross!, 1928-1932 in February 2016 with an auction result of USD 47,500.00 (€ 43,706.29).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Warten ! (Waiting), circa 1928-1932 von Heinz Hajek-Halke im September 2017 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 8.750,00 (€ 9.926,99) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Heinz Hajek-Halke auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Erotik - ganz gross!, 1928-1932 im Februar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 47.500,00 (€ 43.706,29).
