Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work An Amsterdam street scene by Gerard Johan Staller was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in March 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at EUR 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gerard Johan Staller - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Slapende hond: A dog asleep, which sold at auction in January 2001 for NLG 39,950.00 (€ 17,481.34).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit An Amsterdam street scene von Gerard Johan Staller im März 2011 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 5.000,00 mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Gerard Johan Staller mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Slapende hond: A dog asleep beobachtet, die im Januar 2001 für NLG 39.950,00 (€ 17.481,34) versteigert wurde.
