Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Fortune by Heinrich Aldegrever was auctioned at Christies in London in July last year. The price achieved of GBP 1,260.00 (€ 1,504.66) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Heinrich Aldegrever achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lazarus begging for Crumbs from Dives's Table (Luke 16:19-31) in January 2000 with an auction result of USD 156,500.00 (€ 160,397.66).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Fortune von Heinrich Aldegrever kam im Juli letzten Jahres bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.260,00 (€ 1.504,66) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Heinrich Aldegrever erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lazarus begging for Crumbs from Dives's Table (Luke 16:19-31) im Januar 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 156.500,00 (€ 160.397,66).
