Upper estimate price exceeded by 30 %.
In September 2001 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction PICTURES WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS INCL. COPIES AFTER OMPIX, which included the work A view on housefronts by Dick Ket. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 881.25 30% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dick Ket achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Stilleven met fluit: a still life with flute in November 2009 with an auction result of EUR 241,000.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 30 % übertroffen
Im September 2001 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion PICTURES WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS INCL. COPIES AFTER OMPIX durch, in der auch die Arbeit A view on housefronts von Dick Ket zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 881,25 und damit 30% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dick Ket erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Stilleven met fluit: a still life with flute im November 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 241.000,00.
