Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ovid's Metamorphoses (Holl. 12) by Johann Wilhelm Baur was sold in the Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints auction at Christies in London in June 2004. The price achieved of GBP 1,075.50 (€ 1,600.67) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Johann Wilhelm Baur achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work View Of The Villa D'Este And Gardens, Tivoli in January 2009 with an auction result of USD 98,500.00 (€ 76,929.08).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Ovid's Metamorphoses (Holl. 12) von Johann Wilhelm Baur wurde im Juni 2004 in der Auktion Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.075,50 (€ 1.600,67) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Johann Wilhelm Baur erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit View Of The Villa D'Este And Gardens, Tivoli im Januar 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 98.500,00 (€ 76.929,08).
