Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Vanitas Still Life With A Skull Surmounting An Upturned Crown, An Astrological Globe, An Hourglass, A Book, A Shell With Soap Bubbles And A Portrait Of The Emperor Augustus On A Draped Table by Edwaert Collier was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2016, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork cha Admittedly, works by Edwaert Collier have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Vanitas Still Life With A Candlestick, Musical Instruments, Dutch Books, A Writing Set, An Astrological And A Terrestial Globe And An Hourglass, All On A Draped Table in February 2013 with an auction result of USD 506,500.00 (€ 387,262.02).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Edwaert Collier konnte im Januar 2016 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Master Paintings & Sculpture Day Sale wechselte die Arbeit A Vanitas Still Life With A Skull Surmounting An Upturned Crown, An Astrological Globe, An Hourglass, A Book, A Shell With Soap Bubbles And A Portrait Of The Emperor Augustus On A Draped Table für USD 75.000,00 (€ 69.239,29) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Edwaert Collier auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Vanitas Still Life With A Candlestick, Musical Instruments, Dutch Books, A Writing Set, An Astrological And A Terrestial Globe And An Hourglass, All On A Draped Table im Februar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 506.500,00 (€ 387.262,02
