Despite a disappointment, a good price for Gillis Claeissens
This work of art by Gillis Claeissens could be acquired at Sothebys in London in July 2018 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Masters Evening Sale auction, the work Christ The Saviour Adored By Abbot Robert Holman changed hands for GBP 187,500.00 (€ 210,228.73) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Christ The Saviour Adored By Abbot Robert Holman is the most expensive artwork by Gillis Claeissens that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Christ The Saviour Adored By Abbot Robert Holman das teuerste Kunstwerk von Gillis Claeissens, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
