This artwork by George Minne achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Amsterdam in September 2011. In the Nineteen to Now including Topographical Observations auction, the work The dock worker sold for EUR 5,625.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Minne achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L'Agenouillé de la fontaine: de geknielde aan de bron in November 2009 with an auction result of EUR 217,000.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Minne erzielte im September 2011 bei Christies in Amsterdam einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Nineteen to Now including Topographical Observations wurde die Arbeit The dock worker für EUR 5.625,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Minne erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L'Agenouillé de la fontaine: de geknielde aan de bron im November 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 217.000,00.
