Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Sailing Vessels In A Stiff Breeze by Albert Jurardus van Prooijen was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in June 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - NLG 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at NLG 4,935.00 (€ 2,371.99). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Albert Jurardus van Prooijen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sailing vessels in a stiff breeze, which sold at auction in January 2001 for NLG 17,625.00 (€ 7,712.36).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Sailing Vessels In A Stiff Breeze von Albert Jurardus van Prooijen im Juni 2001 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – NLG 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit NLG 4.935,00 (€ 2.371,99) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Albert Jurardus van Prooijen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sailing vessels in a stiff breeze beobachtet, die im Januar 2001 für NLG 17.625,00 (€ 7.712,36) versteigert wurde.
