Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2002 Christies in London held the auction WORKS OF ART FROM THE ESTATE OF THE LATE LORD FARNHAM, which included the work The wedding dance by Hans Schäufelein the Elder. The price achieved of GBP 70.50 (€ 110.40) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50.00 – 100.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hans Schäufelein the Elder achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of a man, bust-length, wearing a hat in January 2002 with an auction result of USD 270,000.00 (€ 314,172.68).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion WORKS OF ART FROM THE ESTATE OF THE LATE LORD FARNHAM durch, in der auch die Arbeit The wedding dance von Hans Schäufelein the Elder zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 70,50 (€ 110,40) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50,00 – 100,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hans Schäufelein the Elder erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of a man, bust-length, wearing a hat im Januar 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 270.000,00 (€ 314.172,68).
