Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Eikendam: a river estuary by Hermanus Koekkoek Jnr. was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in February 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hermanus Koekkoek Jnr. achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sailing out on choppy waters in October 2005 with an auction result of EUR 25,200.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Eikendam: a river estuary von Hermanus Koekkoek Jnr. im Februar 2008 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 500,00 den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hermanus Koekkoek Jnr. erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sailing out on choppy waters im Oktober 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 25.200,00.
