Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Swans (Zwanen) (B. 408) by Maurits Cornelis Escher was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in November 2000. Here, the upper estimate of NLG 15,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for NLG 16,382.80 (€ 7,675.08). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Maurits Cornelis Escher achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Reptiles (Bool 327) in April last year with an auction result of USD 756,000.00 (€ 717,471.77).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Swans (Zwanen) (B. 408) von Maurits Cornelis Escher kam im November 2000 bei Christies in Amsterdam zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von NLG 15.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für NLG 16.382,80 (€ 7.675,08) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Maurits Cornelis Escher erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Reptiles (Bool 327) im April letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 756.000,00 (€ 717.471,77).
