Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Christ Blessing The Children by Aert de Gelder was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 92,500.00 (€ 70,864.94). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Aert de Gelder achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Esther at her toilet in January this year with an auction result of USD 882,000.00 (€ 812,304.29).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Christ Blessing The Children von Aert de Gelder im Januar 2012 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 92.500,00 (€ 70.864,94) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Aert de Gelder erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Esther at her toilet im Januar diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 882.000,00 (€ 812.304,29).
