Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In April 2015 Sothebys in New York held the auction The Weldon Collection, which included the work A Winter Scene With A Windmill And Figures On A Frozen River by Hendrick Avercamp. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,810,000.00 (€ 1,621,573.19), 21% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hendrick Avercamp - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Panoramic Winter Landscape With A Multitude Of Figures On A Frozen River, which sold at auction in July 2014 for GBP 5,010,500.00 (€ 6,319,815.87).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im April 2015 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion The Weldon Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Winter Scene With A Windmill And Figures On A Frozen River von Hendrick Avercamp zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.810.000,00 (€ 1.621.573,19) und damit 21% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Hendrick Avercamp mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Panoramic Winter Landscape With A Multitude Of Figures On A Frozen River beobachtet, die im Juli 2014 für GBP 5.010.500,00 (€ 6.319.815,87) versteigert wurde.
