The seller paid dearly for parting with the old painting: Wolfgang Pauritsch had to dig deep into his pockets for “Cash for Rares”.
When Horst Lichter opened the expert room of “When he enters “Bares for Rares”, he sees expert Friederike Werner leaning over a painting. It belongs to Ilka Spormann-Behring from Bonn, who is visiting the ZDF junk show with her partner Sven Scheunemann to find a new owner.
As the owner reveals, it comes from her family and is around 130 years old. The painter himself probably gave the picture to one of her ancestors.
“Cash for Rares”: Expert raves about the “vivid colors”
According to Friederike Werner it is a picture by the Polish painter Maurycy Trębacz, who was born in Warsaw in 1861 and died under German occupation in the Lodz ghetto in 1941. The handwritten dedication “In memory of your 9th wedding anniversary 1897” is recorded on the back. A fruit seller is depicted. The expert raves about the “vivid colors” of the painting. The frame also receives praise, Werner finds it “fantastic”.
Your pain threshold quantified Spormann-Behring with 3000 euros. Friederike Werner even goes beyond that and estimates the value at 4,000 to 5,500 euros, much to the delight of the sellers.

However, things are not going ideally in the dealer room. First Wolfgang Pauritsch complains about the frame, then Markus Wildhagen starts unusually low at 200 euros. Roman Runkel isn’t even there; the picture is too dark for him. And so initially it doesn’t go higher than 650 euros.
When Scheunemann mentions the expertise, the dealers are amazed. Pauritsch offers 1000 euros – which the saleswoman brusquely rejects. The Austrian makes another attempt and increases it to 2000 euros. “They are very friendly with this offer,” says Spormann-Behring. Her persistence pays off: Pauritsch makes a final offer and offers 2,500 euros.
