Despite a disappointment, a good price for Hendrick Martensz. Sorgh
This work of art by Hendrick Martensz. Sorgh could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in January 2011 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Important Old Master and 19th Century Paintings from the Collection of Jacob Elie Safra auction, the work Musical Company changed hands for USD 1,762,500.00 (€ 1,285,089.32) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,000,000.00 – 3,000,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Musical Company is the most expensive artwork by Hendrick Martensz. Sorgh that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Hendrick Martensz. Sorgh
Dieses Kunstwerk von Hendrick Martensz. Sorgh konnte im Januar 2011 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Important Old Master and 19th Century Paintings from the Collection of Jacob Elie Safra wechselte die Arbeit Musical Company für USD 1.762.500,00 (€ 1.285.089,32) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000.000,00 – 3.000.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Musical Company das teuerste Kunstwerk von Hendrick Martensz. Sorgh, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
