Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Adam and Eve cast out of the Garden of Eden by Maerten de Vos was auctioned at Christies in October 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 93,750.00 (€ 81,154.78). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Maerten de Vos; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The Gathering of Manna sold at auction in July 2002 with the realized price of GBP 100,150.00 (€ 159,743.13).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Adam and Eve cast out of the Garden of Eden von Maerten de Vos im Oktober 2021 bei Christies versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 93.750,00 (€ 81.154,78) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Maerten de Vos; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit The Gathering of Manna im Juli 2002 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 100.150,00 (€ 159.743,13).
