Auction result well in line with expectations

In July 2019 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Day Sale, which included the work A Semper Augustus tulip and other flowers in a Wan-li gilt-mounted vase on a stone ledge by Balthasar van der Ast. It changed hands for a price of GBP 75,000.00 (€ 82,345.01) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 50,000.00 – 80,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Balthasar van der Ast achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Still Life Of Fruit And Shells With A Rose And Various Insects Upon A Stone Ledge in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 1,497,250.00 (€ 1,846,525.06).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juli 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Masters Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Semper Augustus tulip and other flowers in a Wan-li gilt-mounted vase on a stone ledge von Balthasar van der Ast zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 75.000,00 (€ 82.345,01) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 50.000,00 – 80.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Balthasar van der Ast erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Still Life Of Fruit And Shells With A Rose And Various Insects Upon A Stone Ledge im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.497.250,00 (€ 1.846.525,06).
