Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work The Couple by Richard Lindner was auctioned at Sothebys in Paris in October 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 150,000.00 – 200,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 137,500.00. Admittedly, works by Richard Lindner have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Stranger N°1 - 1958 in December 2016 with an auction result of EUR 802,600.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit The Couple von Richard Lindner im Oktober 2019 bei Sothebys in Paris versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 150.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 137.500,00 den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Richard Lindner auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Stranger N°1 - 1958 im Dezember 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 802.600,00.
