A top price for Erasmus Quellinus II - as previously expected
In December 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work The Triumph Of Galatea by Erasmus Quellinus II. The price achieved of GBP 250,000.00 (€ 278,522.17) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Triumph Of Galatea is the most expensive artwork by Erasmus Quellinus II that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Dezember 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Triumph Of Galatea von Erasmus Quellinus II zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 250.000,00 (€ 278.522,17) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Triumph Of Galatea das teuerste Kunstwerk von Erasmus Quellinus II, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
