Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2009 Sothebys in London held the auction 19th Century European Paintings including Spanish Painting, The Orientalist Sale, and German, Austrian, Scandinavian and Symbolist Works, which included the work Norwegian Lunatics by Odd Nerdrum. The price achieved of GBP 97,250.00 (€ 106,427.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Odd Nerdrum - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Dawn, which sold at auction in November 2016 for GBP 341,000.00 (€ 402,346.47).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2009 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 19th Century European Paintings including Spanish Painting, The Orientalist Sale, and German, Austrian, Scandinavian and Symbolist Works durch, in der auch die Arbeit Norwegian Lunatics von Odd Nerdrum zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 97.250,00 (€ 106.427,59) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Odd Nerdrum mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Dawn beobachtet, die im November 2016 für GBP 341.000,00 (€ 402.346,47) versteigert wurde.
