In October 2020 Christies in New York held the auction The Martin Feldstein Collection: Dutch Art in the Golden Age, which included the work A village fair with a pamphleteer by Jan Steen. The »bidding war« ended at USD 475,000.00 (€ 407,830.34), 36% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Steen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Prayer Before The Meal in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 5,641,250.00 (€ 6,957,227.93).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 36 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2020 führte Christies in New York die Auktion The Martin Feldstein Collection: Dutch Art in the Golden Age durch, in der auch die Arbeit A village fair with a pamphleteer von Jan Steen zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 475.000,00 (€ 407.830,34) und damit 36% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Steen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Prayer Before The Meal im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.641.250,00 (€ 6.957.227,93).
