Despite a disappointment, a good price for Bernard-Joseph Wamps

When the work The Adoration of the Shepherds by Bernard-Joseph Wamps was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in May 2004, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 3,000.00 – 4,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 2,868.00. Despite this disappointing result, The Adoration of the Shepherds is the most expensive artwork by Bernard-Joseph Wamps that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Bernard-Joseph Wamps

Als die Arbeit The Adoration of the Shepherds von Bernard-Joseph Wamps im Mai 2004 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 2.868,00 den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist The Adoration of the Shepherds das teuerste Kunstwerk von Bernard-Joseph Wamps, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
