Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2016 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master and British Works on Paper Including drawings from the Oppé Collection, which included the work Horsemen Entering The City Of Antwerp by Gillis Neyts. The price achieved of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,882.16) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gillis Neyts - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A landscape with a monumental tree and an amorous couple, which sold at auction in July 2014 for GBP 35,000.00 (€ 44,146.00).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2016 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master and British Works on Paper Including drawings from the Oppé Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Horsemen Entering The City Of Antwerp von Gillis Neyts zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.882,16) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Gillis Neyts mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A landscape with a monumental tree and an amorous couple beobachtet, die im Juli 2014 für GBP 35.000,00 (€ 44.146,00) versteigert wurde.
