Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2010 Sothebys in Toronto held the auction Important Canadian Art, which included the work Still Life Fragment, After Zurbaran by David Bierk. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of CAD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of CAD 8,400.00 (€ 6,443.35) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Bierk - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Eulogy To Life, To Manet, To Gauguin, which sold at auction in May 2012 for CAD 26,400.00 (€ 20,630.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2010 führte Sothebys in Toronto die Auktion Important Canadian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Still Life Fragment, After Zurbaran von David Bierk zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von CAD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von CAD 8.400,00 (€ 6.443,35) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von David Bierk mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Eulogy To Life, To Manet, To Gauguin beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für CAD 26.400,00 (€ 20.630,60) versteigert wurde.
