Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In April 2006 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Pictures, which included the work Summer: a landscape with peasants, cattle and sheep by a farm house; and Winter: a village scene with skaters on a frozen lake by Jacob Grimmer. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 84,000.00 (€ 121,235.74), 20% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jacob Grimmer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Massacre Of The Innocents, which sold at auction in December 2011 for GBP 313,250.00 (€ 375,161.12).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im April 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Summer: a landscape with peasants, cattle and sheep by a farm house; and Winter: a village scene with skaters on a frozen lake von Jacob Grimmer zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 84.000,00 (€ 121.235,74) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Jacob Grimmer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Massacre Of The Innocents beobachtet, die im Dezember 2011 für GBP 313.250,00 (€ 375.161,12) versteigert wurde.
