Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A young couple with two goats (recto); A nude male torso seen from behind (verso) by Claude Gellée was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2020, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 25,000.00 (€ 22,536.73). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Claude Gellée achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Mediterranean Port At Sunrise With The Embarkation Of Saint Paula For Jerusalem in December 2013 with an auction result of GBP 4,450,000.00 (€ 5,352,659.84).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A young couple with two goats (recto); A nude male torso seen from behind (verso) von Claude Gellée im Januar 2020 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 25.000,00 (€ 22.536,73) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Claude Gellée erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Mediterranean Port At Sunrise With The Embarkation Of Saint Paula For Jerusalem im Dezember 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.450.000,00 (€ 5.352.659,84).
