Artwork auctioned at 32 times the upper estimate price
When the work Cattle by a fence in a water meadow by Adriaen van de Velde was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 32 times as high at GBP 193,750.00 (€ 212,724.62). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Adriaen van de Velde - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work View from the Dunes out to Sea, which sold at auction in July 2021 for GBP 562,500.00 (€ 659,647.88).
Kunstwerk zum 32-fachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Cattle by a fence in a water meadow von Adriaen van de Velde im Juli 2019 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 193.750,00 (€ 212.724,62) mehr als 32-mal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Adriaen van de Velde mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit View from the Dunes out to Sea beobachtet, die im Juli 2021 für GBP 562.500,00 (€ 659.647,88) versteigert wurde.
