Sold at the upper estimate price
In May 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters including Portrait Miniatures from the Pohl-Ströher Collection, which included the work An Imaginary Church Interior, With A Large Pipe Organ by Dirck van Delen. The auction ended at the price of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 16,651.65), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dirck van Delen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An architectural capriccio with Jephthah and his daughter in April 2017 with an auction result of USD 667,500.00 (€ 612,666.36).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im Mai 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters including Portrait Miniatures from the Pohl-Ströher Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Imaginary Church Interior, With A Large Pipe Organ von Dirck van Delen zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 16.651,65) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dirck van Delen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An architectural capriccio with Jephthah and his daughter im April 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 667.500,00 (€ 612.666,36).
