A top price for Herman Posthumus - as previously expected

In July 2018 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work Extensive mountainous, coastal landscape by Herman Posthumus. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 106,250.00 (€ 119,129.61) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Extensive mountainous, coastal landscape is the most expensive artwork by Herman Posthumus 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 Extensive mountainous, coastal landscape von Herman Posthumus zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 106.250,00 (€ 119.129,61) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Extensive mountainous, coastal landscape das teuerste Kunstwerk von Herman Posthumus, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
