Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait of Johanna van Diemen, aged 61, half-length, in a cartwheel ruff with a coat of arms by Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2002, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 47,800.00 (€ 77,339.15). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Vanitas Still Life With An Angel Blowing Bubbles, which sold at auction in January 2011 for USD 374,500.00 (€ 273,058.69).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait of Johanna van Diemen, aged 61, half-length, in a cartwheel ruff with a coat of arms von Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp im April 2002 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 47.800,00 (€ 77.339,15) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Vanitas Still Life With An Angel Blowing Bubbles beobachtet, die im Januar 2011 für USD 374.500,00 (€ 273.058,69) versteigert wurde.
