Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2019 Christies in London held the auction British & European Art: European Art, which included the work The Paleisstraat near the Spuistraat, Amsterdam, at night by George Hendrik Breitner. It changed hands for a price of GBP 18,750.00 (€ 20,586.25) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Hendrik Breitner achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gezicht op Keizersgracht hoek Reguliersgracht: an elegant lady strolling along a canal in Amsterdam in October 2007 with an auction result of EUR 760,250.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion British & European Art: European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Paleisstraat near the Spuistraat, Amsterdam, at night von George Hendrik Breitner zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 18.750,00 (€ 20.586,25) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Hendrik Breitner erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gezicht op Keizersgracht hoek Reguliersgracht: an elegant lady strolling along a canal in Amsterdam im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 760.250,00.
