The work Summer Trees Against a Deep Blue Sky by Wolf Kahn was sold in the American Art auction at Bonhams in New York in August last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 50,775.00 (€ 50,447.09), 45% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wolf Kahn - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Atlantic Highlands, which sold at auction in November 2021 for USD 212,500.00 (€ 188,269.69).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 45 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Summer Trees Against a Deep Blue Sky von Wolf Kahn wurde im August letzten Jahres in der Auktion American Art bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 50.775,00 (€ 50.447,09) und damit 45% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Wolf Kahn mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Atlantic Highlands beobachtet, die im November 2021 für USD 212.500,00 (€ 188.269,69) versteigert wurde.
