Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Allegory of Africa by Jan Boeckhorst was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 44,100.00 (€ 39,332.86) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Boeckhorst - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Alexander The Great Crowning Roxana, which sold at auction in January 2020 for USD 150,000.00 (€ 135,220.41).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Allegory of Africa von Jan Boeckhorst kam im Januar letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 44.100,00 (€ 39.332,86) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Boeckhorst mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Alexander The Great Crowning Roxana beobachtet, die im Januar 2020 für USD 150.000,00 (€ 135.220,41) versteigert wurde.
