A top price for Jan Jans
When the work A summer's day on the river Vecht by Jan Jans was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in June 2002, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 900.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at EUR 6,214.00. This high result makes A summer's day on the river Vecht the most expensive artwork by Jan Jans that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Jan Jans
Als die Arbeit A summer's day on the river Vecht von Jan Jans im Juni 2002 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 900,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 6.214,00 mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A summer's day on the river Vecht zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Jan Jans, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
