Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Abraham Bloemaert achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in March 2021. In the Quality in Detail. The Juli and Andrew Wieg Collection auction, the work A rocky, mountainous region with a cascading river with two figures sold for GBP 8,190.00 (€ 9,621.14) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Abraham Bloemaert achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Mythological Scene, Perhaps Venus And Cupid in January 2013 with an auction result of USD 434,500.00 (€ 319,861.60).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Abraham Bloemaert erzielte im März 2021 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Quality in Detail. The Juli and Andrew Wieg Collection wurde die Arbeit A rocky, mountainous region with a cascading river with two figures für GBP 8.190,00 (€ 9.621,14) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 4.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Abraham Bloemaert erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Mythological Scene, Perhaps Venus And Cupid im Januar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 434.500,00 (€ 319.861,60).
