The work The Good Samaritan by Hans Bol was sold in the Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries auction at Sothebys in New York in January last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 113,400.00 (€ 101,141.63), 62% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hans Bol - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An Elegant Hunting Party Before The Abbey Of Rouge-Cloître, Near Brussels, which sold at auction in July 2011 for GBP 241,250.00 (€ 276,870.47).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 62 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit The Good Samaritan von Hans Bol wurde im Januar letzten Jahres in der Auktion Master Works on Paper from Five Centuries bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 113.400,00 (€ 101.141,63) und damit 62% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Hans Bol mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit An Elegant Hunting Party Before The Abbey Of Rouge-Cloître, Near Brussels beobachtet, die im Juli 2011 für GBP 241.250,00 (€ 276.870,47) versteigert wurde.
