Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Children playing in the dunes of Katwijk by German Grobe was sold in the Topographical Observations: Picture your world auction at Christies in Amsterdam in February 2008. The auction ended at the price of EUR 5,000.00, which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of EUR 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by German Grobe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Anchoring the Bomschuit, which sold at auction in October 2006 for EUR 18,000.00.
