Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Balthasar van der Ast could be acquired at Christies in London in October this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Collection of Ann & Gordon Getty: Wheatland auction, the work Fruit in a kraak porcelain dish with quinces, roses, shells and insects changed hands for USD 378,000.00 (€ 357,683.57) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 500,000.00 – 700,000.00. Admittedly, works by Balthasar van der Ast have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Balthasar van der Ast konnte im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Collection of Ann & Gordon Getty: Wheatland wechselte die Arbeit Fruit in a kraak porcelain dish with quinces, roses, shells and insects für USD 378.000,00 (€ 357.683,57) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 500.000,00 – 700.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Balthasar van der Ast auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
