Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Portrait of the writer Antoon Coolen by Hendrik Wiegersma was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in September 2003. Here, the upper estimate of EUR 1,600.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for EUR 1,673.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Hendrik Wiegersma - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A self portrait, which sold at auction in January 2005 for EUR 4,200.00.
