€30,500 Otto Müller Find Leads Latest ‘Bares für Rares’ Episodes as Deals Diverge and Drama Flares

Recent broadcasts underscore widening gaps between expert estimates and final bids.

Overview

  • An attic-found Otto Müller chalk lithograph, identified as a unique post‑colored sheet circa 1920, was bought by dealer Fabian Kahl for €30,500.
  • A Birmingham silver service lacking the walking‑lion hallmark was revalued to €800–€1,000, and the disappointed owners walked away without selling.
  • ZDF added an on‑screen notice that a Günther Uecker segment was recorded before his death on June 10, and the 1975 lithograph sold in the dealer room for €1,100.
  • Dealers surpassed expert ranges on multiple lots, including €3,200 for a Meissen casket estimated at €1,800–€2,100 and €1,500 for a rare Mädler leather set valued at €250–€300, while a Loetz vase reached €1,600 after a rival bid came too late.
  • Post‑show sales extended into wider markets as a century‑old cylinder motor model was resold to a U.S. collector and an Adelsbrief found a home at a city museum, even as other segments ended in walkouts over pricing.
