Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Virgin And Child by Ambrosius Benson was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 310,000.00 (€ 286,189.07) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Ambrosius Benson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Mary Magdalene holding an ointment jar in January last year with an auction result of USD 1,956,000.00 (€ 1,744,559.40).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Virgin And Child von Ambrosius Benson kam im Januar 2016 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 310.000,00 (€ 286.189,07) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ambrosius Benson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Mary Magdalene holding an ointment jar im Januar letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.956.000,00 (€ 1.744.559,40).
