Despite a disappointment, a good price for Bernhard Strigel
When the work A Portrait Of Johannes Cuspinian, With His Second Wife Agnes, And His Sons From His First Marriage Sebastian Felix And Nicolaus Christostomus by Bernhard Strigel was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 175,000.00 (€ 196,213.48). Despite this disappointing result, A Portrait Of Johannes Cuspinian, With His Second Wife Agnes, And His Sons From His First Marriage Sebastian Felix And Nicolaus Christostomus is the most expensive artwork by Bernhard Strigel that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Bernhard Strigel
Als die Arbeit A Portrait Of Johannes Cuspinian, With His Second Wife Agnes, And His Sons From His First Marriage Sebastian Felix And Nicolaus Christostomus von Bernhard Strigel im Juli 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 175.000,00 (€ 196.213,48) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist A Portrait Of Johannes Cuspinian, With His Second Wife Agnes, And His Sons From His First Marriage Sebastian Felix And Nicolaus Christostomus das teuerste Kunstwerk von Bernhard Strigel, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
