Otto Müller Lithograph Sells for €30,500 as ZDF Adds Uecker Clarification on Bares für Rares

Recent episodes underscored how expert vetting plus dealer risk drive outcomes that upend seller expectations.

Overview

  • A rare, circa‑1920 Otto Müller crayon lithograph authenticated as a unique, hand‑colored piece sold to dealer Fabian Kahl for €30,500, ranking among the show’s priciest deals.
  • ZDF inserted an on‑screen notice stating an episode with a Günther Uecker lithograph was recorded before the artist’s death on June 10, 2025.
  • An Elkington Birmingham service was found to lack the sterling hallmark, leading expert Albert Maier to value it at €800–€1,000 and the disappointed couple exited without selling.
  • Two Meissen figures drew a seller demand of €5,000–€6,000 per piece, but expert Colmar Schulte‑Goltz valued the pair at €2,800–€3,100, prompting the owners to abort their appearance.
  • A more than 100‑year‑old cast‑iron cylinder engine model sold in the dealer room for €650 and was later resold by Jos van Katwijk to a U.S. collector for a higher undisclosed sum.
