The work Trapezkünstler II (Trapeze Artist II) by Max Pechstein was sold in the Modern & Contemporary Art auction at Sothebys in Cologne in September 2021. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 40,320.00 34% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Max Pechstein achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Weib mit Inder auf Teppich (Vorderseite), Früchte II (Rückseite) in December 2011 with an auction result of EUR 3,480,000.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 34 % übertroffen
