Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work A street market behind a church, a harbor in the distance by Hendrick Verschuring was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 37,000.00 (€ 24,930.93). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Hendrick Verschuring; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot An Amorous Couple In A Stable With A Grey, A Bay Horse And Dogs sold at auction in December 2007 with the realized price of GBP 30,500.00 (€ 41,444.33).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A street market behind a church, a harbor in the distance von Hendrick Verschuring im Januar 2008 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 37.000,00 (€ 24.930,93) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Hendrick Verschuring; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit An Amorous Couple In A Stable With A Grey, A Bay Horse And Dogs im Dezember 2007 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 30.500,00 (€ 41.444,33).
