Artwork auctioned at eight times the upper estimate price
When the work Animalium, Ferarum, & Bestiarum, Florum, Fructum, Muscarum, Vermiunque Icones variae (Pennington 2064-2075) by Wenceslaus Hollar was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at USD 16,250.00 (€ 12,490.39). Admittedly, works by Wenceslaus Hollar have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Old St. Paul'S Cathedral, London, Seen From The East in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 75,650.00 (€ 90,960.60).
Kunstwerk zum Achtfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Animalium, Ferarum, & Bestiarum, Florum, Fructum, Muscarum, Vermiunque Icones variae (Pennington 2064-2075) von Wenceslaus Hollar im Juni 2013 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 16.250,00 (€ 12.490,39) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Wenceslaus Hollar auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Old St. Paul'S Cathedral, London, Seen From The East im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 75.650,00 (€ 90.960,60).
