A top price for Albrecht Altdorfer - as previously expected
The work The Spies returning from the promised land (Joshua and Caleb) by Albrecht Altdorfer was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2017. The result of USD 20,000.00 (€ 18,528.81) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Spies returning from the promised land (Joshua and Caleb) is the most expensive artwork by Albrecht Altdorfer that we have observed at auctions so far.
