A top price for Bernhard Keil
When the work A recumbent shepherd boy with a sleeping dog by his side, a wicker basket at his feet by Bernhard Keil was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 119,250.00 (€ 194,837.97). This high result makes A recumbent shepherd boy with a sleeping dog by his side, a wicker basket at his feet the most expensive artwork by Bernhard Keil that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Bernhard Keil
Als die Arbeit A recumbent shepherd boy with a sleeping dog by his side, a wicker basket at his feet von Bernhard Keil im Dezember 2001 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 119.250,00 (€ 194.837,97) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A recumbent shepherd boy with a sleeping dog by his side, a wicker basket at his feet zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Bernhard Keil, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
