Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of a gentleman, seated three-quarter length; Portrait of a lady, seated three-quarter length by Arnold Boonen was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2021, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 3,780.00 (€ 4,440.53). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arnold Boonen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A candlelit interior with a young man seated at a table, lighting his pipe in May 2007 with an auction result of EUR 108,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, seated three-quarter length; Portrait of a lady, seated three-quarter length von Arnold Boonen im März 2021 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 3.780,00 (€ 4.440,53) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arnold Boonen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A candlelit interior with a young man seated at a table, lighting his pipe im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 108.000,00.
