Estimate: 1.000 - 1.500 GBP
Price realised: 1.560 GBP
Eugen Dekker (German, 1865-1956)
Fishing trawlers in dry dock
signed 'Eugen Dekker.' (lower left)
oil on canvas
20½ x 24½ in. (52.2 x 62.3 cm.)

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In May 2005 Christies in London held the auction MARITIME PICTURES, which included the work Fishing trawlers in dry dock by Eugène Dekkert. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,303.05). Admittedly, works by Eugène Dekkert have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Self Portrait Of The Artist At Work in August 2008 with an auction result of GBP 10,625.00 (€ 13,175.32).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Mai 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion MARITIME PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fishing trawlers in dry dock von Eugène Dekkert zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.303,05) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Eugène Dekkert auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Self Portrait Of The Artist At Work im August 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 13.175,32).
