Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work A gothic church interior with elegant figures by Gerard Houckgeest was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2015. It achieved a price of USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,448.09), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gerard Houckgeest achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The west end of the Oude Kerk, Delft, from the southern aisle to the north, with the organ loft in December 2006 with an auction result of GBP 187,200.00 (€ 277,828.23).

Die Arbeit A gothic church interior with elegant figures von Gerard Houckgeest kam im Juni 2015 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 13.448,09) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gerard Houckgeest erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The west end of the Oude Kerk, Delft, from the southern aisle to the north, with the organ loft im Dezember 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 187.200,00 (€ 277.828,23).
