Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2009 Sothebys in New York held the auction 19th Century European Art including Important British Paintings, which included the work Austrian A Street Scene, Cairo by Leopold Carl Müller. Here, the upper estimate of USD 800,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 866,500.00 (€ 587,258.56). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Leopold Carl Müller - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work German An Almée'S Admirers (Egyptische Tänzerin), which sold at auction in October 2008 for USD 1,650,500.00 (€ 1,301,450.88).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2009 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion 19th Century European Art including Important British Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Austrian A Street Scene, Cairo von Leopold Carl Müller zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 800.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 866.500,00 (€ 587.258,56) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Leopold Carl Müller mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit German An Almée'S Admirers (Egyptische Tänzerin) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2008 für USD 1.650.500,00 (€ 1.301.450,88) versteigert wurde.
