Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work An Extensive Seascape With Figures By A Boat On A Shore by Ludolf Bakhuizen was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 668,750.00 (€ 752,580.17). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Ludolf Bakhuizen; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A States Yacht and other ships on the sea in stormy weather sold at auction in July last year with the realized price of GBP 730,800.00 (€ 872,705.00).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit An Extensive Seascape With Figures By A Boat On A Shore von Ludolf Bakhuizen im Dezember 2017 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 668.750,00 (€ 752.580,17) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Ludolf Bakhuizen; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit A States Yacht and other ships on the sea in stormy weather im Juli letzten Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 730.800,00 (€ 872.705,00).
