A top price for Egbert van Heemskerck the Younger
When the work The Temptation of Saint Anthony by Egbert van Heemskerck the Younger was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 43,750.00 (€ 38,607.48). This high result makes The Temptation of Saint Anthony the most expensive artwork by Egbert van Heemskerck the Younger that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Egbert van Heemskerck the Younger
Als die Arbeit The Temptation of Saint Anthony von Egbert van Heemskerck the Younger im Oktober 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 43.750,00 (€ 38.607,48) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Temptation of Saint Anthony zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Egbert van Heemskerck the Younger, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
