Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Turkenkalender 1942 And Six Other Booklets by Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in December 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at EUR 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Vrouweneiland XXII (Martinet Hot Printing 42-80), which sold at auction in December 2006 for EUR 45,600.00.
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Turkenkalender 1942 And Six Other Booklets von Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman im Dezember 2015 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 20.000,00 mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Vrouweneiland XXII (Martinet Hot Printing 42-80) beobachtet, die im Dezember 2006 für EUR 45.600,00 versteigert wurde.
