Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Portrait of a woman, half-length, possibly Madame de Montrouge by Gerard van Kuijl was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2017, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 8,750.00 (€ 7,512.02). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gerard van Kuijl achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Musical Party in January 2016 with an auction result of USD 442,000.00 (€ 408,050.22).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Portrait of a woman, half-length, possibly Madame de Montrouge von Gerard van Kuijl im Oktober 2017 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 8.750,00 (€ 7.512,02) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gerard van Kuijl erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Musical Party im Januar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 442.000,00 (€ 408.050,22).
