Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Archetypa studiaque Patris Georgio Hoefnaglii by Joris Hoefnagel was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 11,875.00 (€ 9,127.59). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joris Hoefnagel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A village festival with elegantly dressed figures in procession, a river and tower beyond in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 481,250.00 (€ 593,514.90).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Archetypa studiaque Patris Georgio Hoefnaglii von Joris Hoefnagel im Juni 2013 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 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 11.875,00 (€ 9.127,59) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joris Hoefnagel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A village festival with elegantly dressed figures in procession, a river and tower beyond im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 481.250,00 (€ 593.514,90).
