Unfortunately, no publicly available data from recent gallery listings or dealer inventories could be found for Albert Ebert's works or that particular painting.

The Ahrenshoop Art Auction, which takes place annually, is renowned for featuring works from the Ahrenshoop artist colony, as well as artists from classical modernism, postmodernism, and contemporary art. This year's summer auction presented a diverse range of artworks, providing a platform for both established and emerging artists.
Interestingly, the graphic "Kneeling Girl" by Emil Nolde, which had a starting price of 12,000 euros and did not find a buyer in the auction, is still available.
The auctioneer expects further sales in the post-auction period. For more information about the Ahrenshoop Art Auction and its upcoming events, visit their official website.
In light of the diverse array of artworks presented at the Ahrenshoup Art Auction, a community policy could be implemented to educate bidders about the provenance and market value of certain artists, such as Albert Ebert, whose works like "Mackie Messer's Wedding I" have historically been highly sought after. On a different note, in the midst of their vibrant home-and-garden lifestyles, an individual might take an interest in investing in artworks, such as the unsold "Kneeling Girl" by Emil Nolde, which offers a unique piece for potential buyers at a starting price of 12,000 euros.
