Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Rhenish landscape with numerous vessels moored at a quay, a town on the opposite shore by Herman Saftleven was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 56,250.00 (€ 49,638.19). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Herman Saftleven - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Landscape With Travelers, which sold at auction in January 2008 for USD 265,000.00 (€ 178,559.40).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Rhenish landscape with numerous vessels moored at a quay, a town on the opposite shore von Herman Saftleven im Oktober 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 56.250,00 (€ 49.638,19) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Herman Saftleven mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Landscape With Travelers beobachtet, die im Januar 2008 für USD 265.000,00 (€ 178.559,40) versteigert wurde.
