Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2012 Christies in London held the auction Old Master, Decorative, Modern & Contemporary Prints including an Important Private Collection by Lill Tschudi, which included the work Avium Vivae Icones (Hollstein 1405-1420) by Adriaen Collaert. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,774.87) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Adriaen Collaert - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Piscium Vivae Icones – Eine Folge von Fischen und anderen Meerestieren (25 Bll. zuzügl. dem Titelblatt), which sold at auction in November last year for EUR 6,731.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master, Decorative, Modern & Contemporary Prints including an Important Private Collection by Lill Tschudi durch, in der auch die Arbeit Avium Vivae Icones (Hollstein 1405-1420) von Adriaen Collaert zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.774,87) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Adriaen Collaert mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Piscium Vivae Icones – Eine Folge von Fischen und anderen Meerestieren (25 Bll. zuzügl. dem Titelblatt) beobachtet, die im November letzten Jahres für EUR 6.731,00 versteigert wurde.
