BERLIN, GERMANY.- Villa Grisebach continues to fly high with extraordinary results at the 2007 Spring Sales. For three days many collectors from around the world participated in flurry biddings in the sales room as well as over the telephone.

The evening sale prompted three results over one million and plus. It started with Ernst Ludwig Kirchners painting Landschaft am Ufer (Fehmarn) from the Brcke-Year 1913, which was sold to a private German collection for 2.380.000* (Estimate 1.800.000). Emil Noldes subliminal Kleine Sonnenblumen went to a commissioned dealer from Dsseldorf for 2.261.000 (Estimate 1.000.000). A Northern German collector outbid international competition, and took home Noldes dramatic Abendhimmel from 1937 for 2.142.000 (Estimate 1.000.000). Other works of Modern Art also experienced a dramatic increase in price: Beckmanns early masterpiece Allotment Gardens surpassed its estimate five times ( 285.600), Schmidt-Rottluffs Pommersche Bauern from 1924 doubled its estimate ( 612.850), and Paul Klees enchanting watercolor Kstenlandschaft tripled its estimate, and found a new owner at 309.400. Another highlight of the evening was Jean Arps wood relief, an incunabulum of the Avant-garde, that was secured against competition by a French art dealer at 999.600 (Estimate 180.000).

The selection of Contemporary Art once again proofed Berlins positions as the capital of the German art market: Anselm Kiefers work Kirke doubled its estimate at 166.600, and an international bidding flurry had Peter Doigs watercolor Highway climb up to 89.250. The end of the evening sale was highlighted by the world record result for a work by Dresden shooting star Eberhart Havekost, when a Greek collector agreed to pay 236.810 for Relationship II.

The following day bidders continued to battle over works of art from the 19th and 20th centuries. Highlights included works by German Symbolist Ludwig von Hofmann (Estimate 25.000 / Result 202.300), Lesser Ury (Estimate 30.000 / Result 133.280), Tom Wesselman (Estimate 20.000 / Result 92.820), and Rainer Fetting (Estimate 15.000 / Result 97.580).

Total turnover was EUR 23,5 Mio (USD 31,374,850), and Villa Grisebach is more than satisfied with the results of the sale. Bernd Schultz: We are already looking forward to our Sale No. 150 in November.
