A top price for Hendrik van Balen I - as previously expected
In July 2018 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work The Preaching of Saint John the Baptist by Hendrik van Balen I. The result of GBP 200,000.00 (€ 224,243.98) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 200,000.00 – 400,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Preaching of Saint John the Baptist is the most expensive artwork by Hendrik van Balen I that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Masters Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Preaching of Saint John the Baptist von Hendrik van Balen I zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 200.000,00 (€ 224.243,98) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 200.000,00 – 400.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Preaching of Saint John the Baptist das teuerste Kunstwerk von Hendrik van Balen I, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
