Description
HANS AARSMAN
Hollandse Taferelen -- Dutch Tableaux. Amsterdam: Fragment, 1989.

[And:] -- Chromogenic print (305 x 405mm), titled ('Hobrede'), signed ('Hans Aarsman 1988') and annotated ('print June 2001'), all in black ink on the verso.
FIRST EDITION, SIGNED, AND WITH A PRINT FROM THE SERIES: the collapsed glass house in Hobrede. A fine 'homage to the seventeenth century Dutch landscape painters...

Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Hollandse Taferelen -- Dutch Tableaux. Amsterdam: Fragment, 1989. by Hans Aarsman was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2010. The price achieved of GBP 875.00 (€ 1,025.18) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hans Aarsman - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Waterhuizen, from the series 'Hollandse Taferelen', which sold at auction in June 2008 for EUR 3,500.00.
