Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Composition by Lajos Kassák was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Art Works on Paper and Day Sale Morning including The Analytical Eye: The Branco Weiss Collection auction at Sothebys in London in June 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 22,500.00 (€ 26,261.53) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lajos Kassák - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Dinamika, which sold at auction in June this year for EUR 52,920.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Composition von Lajos Kassák wurde im Juni 2013 in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Works on Paper and Day Sale Morning including The Analytical Eye: The Branco Weiss Collection bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 22.500,00 (€ 26.261,53) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Lajos Kassák mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Dinamika beobachtet, die im Juni diesen Jahres für EUR 52.920,00 versteigert wurde.
