A top price for Ludwig Meidner - as previously expected

In November 2018 Sothebys in New York held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale, which included the work Apokalyptische Landschaft (Apocalyptic Landscape) Junger Mann Mit Strohhut (Young Man With Straw Hat) - Reverse by Ludwig Meidner. The price achieved of USD 14,072,800.00 (€ 12,428,508.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000,000.00 – 18,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Apokalyptische Landschaft (Apocalyptic Landscape) Junger Mann Mit Strohhut (Young Man With Straw Hat) - Reverse is the most expensive artwork by Ludwig Meidner that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im November 2018 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Apokalyptische Landschaft (Apocalyptic Landscape) Junger Mann Mit Strohhut (Young Man With Straw Hat) - Reverse von Ludwig Meidner zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 14.072.800,00 (€ 12.428.508,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 12.000.000,00 – 18.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Apokalyptische Landschaft (Apocalyptic Landscape) Junger Mann Mit Strohhut (Young Man With Straw Hat) - Reverse das teuerste Kunstwerk von Ludwig Meidner, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
