Robert Ketterer continues:
“It once more comes to show that quality and a certain newness on the market are the decisive criteria. This year we made our selection even more discerning. Even though this meant we couldn‘t include all works we had been offered into our auctions, the result proves that our way is right. The excellent sales quota and the record results also speak for it. In the end, everyone involved benefits and the atmosphere couldn’t be any better.“
Modern Art & Post War/Contemporary Art
This section** alone, including the special auction Sidelines of the German Avant-garde, grossed some EUR 20 million*. The list of desired objects is led by German artists: While top lots in the section of Contemporary Art came from Gotthard Graubner, Jörg Immendorff, Martin Kippenberger, Johann Georg Müller, Gerhard Richter and Günther Uecker, it was artists such as Conrad Felixmüller, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Gabriele Münter, Emil Nolde and Richard Ziegler, whose oil painting “Die Polizei“ did not only make for the sharpest increase in the December auction but also for a new world record price***, who caused a furore in the section of Modern Art.
Old Masters & Art of the 19th Century
This section brought forth a very solid result of some EUR 1,6 million*, around EUR 400.000 more than in 2009. Besides Hendrik Willem Mesdag‘s “Die Rückkehr der Fischer“ with a result of EUR 144.000* (starting price EUR 30.000) Ludwig von Hofmann‘s oil painting “Tanzfries“, which made for a six-fold of
its starting price of EUR 25.000 with the result of EUR 172.000*, is particularly worthwhile mentioning. Other big names were Karl Blechen, Edward Theodore Compton, Franz von Defregger, Albrecht Dürer, Christian Friedrich Gille, Francisco de Goya, Eduard von Grützner, Samuel van Hogstraaten (ascribed) and Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn.
Rare Books - Manuscripts - Autographs - Decorative Prints
An overall result of around EUR 3,2 million* was more than satisfying in this section, as it did not only top last year’s result by EUR 800.000, it even was the best result in 20 years. “What made me especially happy is that both evening auctions were quite popular, which led to a sensational sales quota of above 100 percent (ratio between starting price and hammer price)“, said Christoph Calaminus, auctioneer and head of the department of Rare Books.
