Upper estimate price exceeded by 76 %.

This artwork by Thomas Schütte achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Cologne in April last year. In the Modern & Contemporary Auction auction, the work Kirschen (Cherries) sold for EUR 35,280.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Schütte achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Grosser Geist Nr. 13 in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 5,275,600.00 (€ 4,731,904.21).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Thomas Schütte erzielte im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in Köln einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Auction wurde die Arbeit Kirschen (Cherries) für EUR 35.280,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Schütte erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Grosser Geist Nr. 13 im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.275.600,00 (€ 4.731.904,21).
