This artwork by Gerrit Rietveld achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Amsterdam in December 2015. In the Modern Art auction, the work A Pair Of Pinewood 'Crate Easy Chairs' sold for EUR 9,375.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gerrit Rietveld achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hoge armchair, designed in 1919, our model of 1963 in February 2021 with an auction result of EUR 214,200.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gerrit Rietveld erzielte im Dezember 2015 bei Christies in Amsterdam einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern Art wurde die Arbeit A Pair Of Pinewood 'Crate Easy Chairs' für EUR 9.375,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gerrit Rietveld erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hoge armchair, designed in 1919, our model of 1963 im Februar 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 214.200,00.
