Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Wassily Kandinsky could be acquired at Christies in London in March 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Impressionist and Modern Art Day and Works on Paper Sale auction, the work Kleine Welten changed hands for GBP 68,750.00 (€ 80,763.54) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 70,000.00 – 100,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wassily Kandinsky achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bild Mit Weissen Linien (Painting With White Lines) in June 2017 with an auction result of GBP 33,008,750.00 (€ 37,590,807.66).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Wassily Kandinsky konnte im März 2021 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Day and Works on Paper Sale wechselte die Arbeit Kleine Welten für GBP 68.750,00 (€ 80.763,54) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 70.000,00 – 100.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wassily Kandinsky erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bild Mit Weissen Linien (Painting With White Lines) im Juni 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 33.008.750,00 (€ 37.590.807,66).
