Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2005 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction 19TH CENTURY EUROPEAN ART, which included the work Playing the right card by Gérard Portielje. Here, the upper estimate of EUR 20,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for EUR 20,400.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gérard Portielje - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The flirtation, which sold at auction in October 2000 for NLG 111,169.00 (€ 53,357.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2005 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion 19TH CENTURY EUROPEAN ART durch, in der auch die Arbeit Playing the right card von Gérard Portielje zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von EUR 20.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für EUR 20.400,00 einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Gérard Portielje mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The flirtation beobachtet, die im Oktober 2000 für NLG 111.169,00 (€ 53.357,45) versteigert wurde.
