Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2018 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work The Sculptor's Studio by Johann Georg Platzer. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 112,500.00 (€ 126,137.24) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Johann Georg Platzer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Allegory of the Five Senses, which sold at auction in April 2007 for GBP 276,000.00 (€ 404,099.56).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Sculptor's Studio von Johann Georg Platzer zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 112.500,00 (€ 126.137,24) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Johann Georg Platzer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Allegory of the Five Senses beobachtet, die im April 2007 für GBP 276.000,00 (€ 404.099,56) versteigert wurde.
