Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The old Galatea Bridge connecting Karakoy to Eminonu over the Golden Horn, Istanbul by Themistokles von Eckenbrecher was sold in the 19TH CENTURY EUROPEAN ART auction at Christies in London in June 2004. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,182.50 (€ 6,224.81) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Themistokles von Eckenbrecher - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work German a Busy Street In Tangiers, which sold at auction in May 2011 for GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,152.55).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The old Galatea Bridge connecting Karakoy to Eminonu over the Golden Horn, Istanbul von Themistokles von Eckenbrecher wurde im Juni 2004 in der Auktion 19TH CENTURY EUROPEAN ART bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.182,50 (€ 6.224,81) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Themistokles von Eckenbrecher mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit German a Busy Street In Tangiers beobachtet, die im Mai 2011 für GBP 15.000,00 (€ 17.152,55) versteigert wurde.
