Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Linienbrücke (Bridge of Lines) by Wassily Kandinsky was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March last year. The price achieved of GBP 567,000.00 (€ 672,242.31) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500,000.00 – 700,000.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Linienbrücke (Bridge of Lines) von Wassily Kandinsky kam im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 567.000,00 (€ 672.242,31) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500.000,00 – 700.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
