Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Heraclitus by Jacob Toorenvliet was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in November 2016, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 2,750.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacob Toorenvliet achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Rabbinical Discussion in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 104,500.00 (€ 76,193.95).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Heraclitus von Jacob Toorenvliet im November 2016 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 2.750,00 den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacob Toorenvliet erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Rabbinical Discussion im Januar 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 104.500,00 (€ 76.193,95).
