Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Danish interior With A Marble Niche by Vilhelm Hammershøi was sold in the 19th Century European Paintings auction at Sothebys in London in May 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 500,000.00 – 700,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 509,000.00 (€ 664,191.29) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Vilhelm Hammershøi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Stue (Interior with an Oval Mirror) in May last year with an auction result of USD 6,300,000.00 (€ 5,870,841.49).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Danish interior With A Marble Niche von Vilhelm Hammershøi wurde im Mai 2016 in der Auktion 19th Century European Paintings bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500.000,00 – 700.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 509.000,00 (€ 664.191,29) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Vilhelm Hammershøi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Stue (Interior with an Oval Mirror) im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.300.000,00 (€ 5.870.841,49).
