Han Wezelaar

Female Torso

Found at Christies, Amsterdam
The Sculpture Sale, Lot 72
21. Nov - 21. Nov 2006
Estimate: 1.500 - 2.000 EUR
Price realised: 7.800 EUR
Han Wezelaar (Dutch, 1901-1984)
Female torso
signed and dated 'Wezelaar 1934' (on the edge)
terracotta
95 cm. high
Conceived in 1934 and cast in an edition of two, plus three bronze casts

Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Female Torso by Han Wezelaar was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in November 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at EUR 7,800.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Han Wezelaar; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Vrouwelijk naakt (staand) sold at auction in October 2021 with the realized price of EUR 10,625.00.

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Female Torso von Han Wezelaar im November 2006 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 7.800,00 mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Han Wezelaar; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Vrouwelijk naakt (staand) im Oktober 2021 mit dem Hammerpreis von EUR 10.625,00.
