Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work A fisherman and his family by David Adolph Constant Artz was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2003, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 8,225.00 (€ 11,819.77). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Adolph Constant Artz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work First love, which sold at auction in October 2000 for NLG 87,765.00 (€ 42,124.30).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A fisherman and his family von David Adolph Constant Artz im Juni 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 8.225,00 (€ 11.819,77) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von David Adolph Constant Artz mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit First love beobachtet, die im Oktober 2000 für NLG 87.765,00 (€ 42.124,30) versteigert wurde.
