A top price for Gerrit Berckheyde
When the work A view of Haarlem from the northwest corner with the Kruispoort and St. Bavo's Cathedral beyond by Gerrit Berckheyde was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 700,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,617,250.00 (€ 3,036,002.11). This high result makes A view of Haarlem from the northwest corner with the Kruispoort and St. Bavo's Cathedral beyond the most expensive artwork by Gerrit Berckheyde that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Gerrit Berckheyde
Als die Arbeit A view of Haarlem from the northwest corner with the Kruispoort and St. Bavo's Cathedral beyond von Gerrit Berckheyde im Dezember 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 700.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.617.250,00 (€ 3.036.002,11) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A view of Haarlem from the northwest corner with the Kruispoort and St. Bavo's Cathedral beyond zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Gerrit Berckheyde, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
