Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Pears, an apple, an apricot, grapes, almonds and wallnuts on a tazza with grapes, a wallnut, an abricot, cherries and almonds on a stone ledge by Clara Peeters was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in May 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - NLG 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at NLG 455,000.00 (€ 219,185.69). Admittedly, works by Clara Peeters have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Roses, Lilies, An Iris And Other Flowers In An Earthenware Vase, With A Pot Of Carnations And A Butterfly On A Ledge in June last year with an auction result of USD 1,500,000.00 (€ 1,432,801.60).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Pears, an apple, an apricot, grapes, almonds and wallnuts on a tazza with grapes, a wallnut, an abricot, cherries and almonds on a stone ledge von Clara Peeters im Mai 2001 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – NLG 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit NLG 455.000,00 (€ 219.185,69) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Clara Peeters auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Roses, Lilies, An Iris And Other Flowers In An Earthenware Vase, With A Pot Of Carnations And A Butterfly On A Ledge im Juni letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.500.000,00 (€ 1.432.801,60).
