Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Abraham Bloemaert could be acquired at Christies in New York in January this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master & British Drawings auction, the work Saint Arsenius the Great (of Skete) in his cell, waving a basket changed hands for USD 2,520.00 (€ 2,320.87) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Abraham Bloemaert konnte im Januar diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings wechselte die Arbeit Saint Arsenius the Great (of Skete) in his cell, waving a basket für USD 2.520,00 (€ 2.320,87) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. 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).
