Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Kaffir buffalo in the Savannah by Wilhelm Kuhnert was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2016. The price achieved of GBP 31,250.00 (€ 36,536.32) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wilhelm Kuhnert achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work German Grollende Löwen in February 2019 with an auction result of USD 645,000.00 (€ 566,833.64).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Kaffir buffalo in the Savannah von Wilhelm Kuhnert kam im Dezember 2016 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 31.250,00 (€ 36.536,32) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 25.000,00 – 35.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wilhelm Kuhnert erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit German Grollende Löwen im Februar 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 645.000,00 (€ 566.833,64).
