Artwork auctioned at ten times the upper estimate price

When the work A group of figures and livestock on a ferry by Adriaen van de Velde was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at GBP 16,250.00 (€ 19,424.36). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Adriaen van de Velde achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work View from the Dunes out to Sea in July 2021 with an auction result of GBP 562,500.00 (€ 659,647.88).

Kunstwerk zum Zehnfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit A group of figures and livestock on a ferry von Adriaen van de Velde im September 2013 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 16.250,00 (€ 19.424,36) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Adriaen van de Velde erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit View from the Dunes out to Sea im Juli 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 562.500,00 (€ 659.647,88).
