A top price for Abraham Meertens - as previously expected
In January 2012 Sothebys in New York held the auction Old Master Drawings, which included the work Two Exotic Birds Perched On A Tree, A Coastal Landscape Behind by Abraham Meertens. The price achieved of USD 6,250.00 (€ 4,788.17) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Two Exotic Birds Perched On A Tree, A Coastal Landscape Behind is the most expensive artwork by Abraham Meertens that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Januar 2012 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Old Master Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Two Exotic Birds Perched On A Tree, A Coastal Landscape Behind von Abraham Meertens zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 6.250,00 (€ 4.788,17) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Two Exotic Birds Perched On A Tree, A Coastal Landscape Behind das teuerste Kunstwerk von Abraham Meertens, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
