Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work The boarding of the company troops at the Montelbaan Tower, Amsterdam by Abraham Storck was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 56,250.00 (€ 66,837.17). 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).

Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The boarding of the company troops at the Montelbaan Tower, Amsterdam von Abraham Storck im Juli 2016 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 56.250,00 (€ 66.837,17) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. 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).
