Auction result misses estimated price range
In March 2003 a collector was able to acquire the work Nauwkeurige Beschryving der Aardgewassen, Waar in de Veelerley Aart en Bijzondere Eigenschappen der Boomen, Heesters, Kruyden, Bloemen Accurate Description of Terrestrial Plants: Eight Plates by Abraham Munting for USD 1,912.00 (€ 1,754.13). This price was achieved in the auction The House Sale at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Abraham Munting achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Naauwkeurige Beschryving des Aardgewassen, Leiden, 1696, red morocco gilt in May last year with an auction result of GBP 100,800.00 (€ 118,581.60).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im März 2003 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Nauwkeurige Beschryving der Aardgewassen, Waar in de Veelerley Aart en Bijzondere Eigenschappen der Boomen, Heesters, Kruyden, Bloemen Accurate Description of Terrestrial Plants: Eight Plates von Abraham Munting für USD 1.912,00 (€ 1.754,13) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The House Sale bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.500,00 – 3.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Abraham Munting erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Naauwkeurige Beschryving des Aardgewassen, Leiden, 1696, red morocco gilt im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 100.800,00 (€ 118.581,60).
