A top price for Abraham Teniers
When the work Monkeys Smoking, Drinking And Preparing A Meal In A Kitchen by Abraham Teniers was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 93,750.00 (€ 105,501.89). This high result makes Monkeys Smoking, Drinking And Preparing A Meal In A Kitchen the most expensive artwork by Abraham Teniers that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Abraham Teniers
Als die Arbeit Monkeys Smoking, Drinking And Preparing A Meal In A Kitchen von Abraham Teniers im Dezember 2017 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 93.750,00 (€ 105.501,89) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Monkeys Smoking, Drinking And Preparing A Meal In A Kitchen zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Abraham Teniers, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
