Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Cavalry at rest by Anton Hoffmann was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in December 2009, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 812.50. Admittedly, works by Anton Hoffmann have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Heereszug im Dreissigjährigen Krieg in October 2008 with an auction result of EUR 3,416.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Cavalry at rest von Anton Hoffmann im Dezember 2009 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 812,50 den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Anton Hoffmann auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Heereszug im Dreissigjährigen Krieg im Oktober 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 3.416,00.
