Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Hellevoetsluis by Dirk Nijland was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in June 2002, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 500.00 – 700.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 478.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dirk Nijland achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Netten bij Laag Water in May 2002 with an auction result of EUR 6,572.50.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Hellevoetsluis von Dirk Nijland im Juni 2002 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 478,00 den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dirk Nijland erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Netten bij Laag Water im Mai 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 6.572,50.
