A top price for Philipp Galle - as previously expected
The work Semideorum Marinorum... (Sea And River Gods) (Holl. 412-429; B. 90:1-17) by Philipp Galle was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2005. The price achieved of GBP 1,440.00 (€ 2,134.17) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Semideorum Marinorum... (Sea And River Gods) (Holl. 412-429; B. 90:1-17) is the most expensive artwork by Philipp Galle that we have observed at auctions so far.

Die Arbeit Semideorum Marinorum... (Sea And River Gods) (Holl. 412-429; B. 90:1-17) von Philipp Galle kam im Juni 2005 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.440,00 (€ 2.134,17) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Semideorum Marinorum... (Sea And River Gods) (Holl. 412-429; B. 90:1-17) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Philipp Galle, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
