Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Caricatures of mechanical human bodies and heads (recto); A man seated at a table on the back of an elephant and another caricature (verso) by Johan Tobias Sergel was sold in the OLD MASTER DRAWINGS auction at Christies in New York in January 2001. The price achieved of USD 9,400.00 (€ 10,098.84) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Johan Tobias Sergel - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work "Achilles" (”Achilles i Lykomedes hof”), which sold at auction in June this year for SEK 420,000.00 (€ 35,653.85).

Die Arbeit Caricatures of mechanical human bodies and heads (recto); A man seated at a table on the back of an elephant and another caricature (verso) von Johan Tobias Sergel wurde im Januar 2001 in der Auktion OLD MASTER DRAWINGS bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 9.400,00 (€ 10.098,84) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Johan Tobias Sergel mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit "Achilles" (”Achilles i Lykomedes hof”) beobachtet, die im Juni diesen Jahres für SEK 420.000,00 (€ 35.653,85) versteigert wurde.
