Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Old Master Paintings, which included the work A capriccio of Venice with Saint Mark's Basilica and the Campanile by Abraham Storck. The price achieved of GBP 35,250.00 (€ 42,045.86) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Abraham Storck achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Capricci of Mediterranean ports: the first with the monument of the Four Moors of Leghorn; the second with a monument of Abundance in July 2000 with an auction result of GBP 443,750.00 (€ 717,537.91).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2021 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Old Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit A capriccio of Venice with Saint Mark's Basilica and the Campanile von Abraham Storck zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 35.250,00 (€ 42.045,86) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Abraham Storck erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Capricci of Mediterranean ports: the first with the monument of the Four Moors of Leghorn; the second with a monument of Abundance im Juli 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 443.750,00 (€ 717.537,91).
