Auction result well in line with expectations

In July 2011 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings - Day Sale, which included the work An Assembly of the Gods, with Jupiter embracing Minerva, Venus confronting Diana observed by Hercules, Mercury, Cupid and Apollo, and Neptune and Hades conversing, in classical ruins by Hans von Aachen. The price achieved of GBP 121,250.00 (€ 139,152.51) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hans von Aachen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pan and Selene, which sold at auction in December 2010 for GBP 241,250.00 (€ 279,849.27).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juli 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings - Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Assembly of the Gods, with Jupiter embracing Minerva, Venus confronting Diana observed by Hercules, Mercury, Cupid and Apollo, and Neptune and Hades conversing, in classical ruins von Hans von Aachen zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 121.250,00 (€ 139.152,51) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Hans von Aachen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pan and Selene beobachtet, die im Dezember 2010 für GBP 241.250,00 (€ 279.849,27) versteigert wurde.
