A top price for Dirk Valkenburg - as previously expected

The work A Eurasian eagle-owl with other birds in a landscape by Dirk Valkenburg was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2021. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 250,000.00 – 350,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 264,600.00 (€ 218,046.97) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Eurasian eagle-owl with other birds in a landscape is the most expensive artwork by Dirk Valkenburg that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit A Eurasian eagle-owl with other birds in a landscape von Dirk Valkenburg kam im Januar 2021 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 264.600,00 (€ 218.046,97) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Eurasian eagle-owl with other birds in a landscape das teuerste Kunstwerk von Dirk Valkenburg, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
