Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Bartholomeus Breenbergh could be acquired at Christies in New York in January this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern Medici: Masterpieces from a New York Collection auction, the work Allegory Of Vanity changed hands for USD 69,300.00 (€ 63,823.91) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bartholomeus Breenbergh - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Classical Landscape With Mercury And Argos, which sold at auction in July 2001 for GBP 102,750.00 (€ 167,320.96).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Bartholomeus Breenbergh konnte im Januar diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern Medici: Masterpieces from a New York Collection wechselte die Arbeit Allegory Of Vanity für USD 69.300,00 (€ 63.823,91) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 70.000,00 – 100.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Bartholomeus Breenbergh mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Classical Landscape With Mercury And Argos beobachtet, die im Juli 2001 für GBP 102.750,00 (€ 167.320,96) versteigert wurde.
