Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2011 Sothebys in New York held the auction Old Master Paintings, which included the work Faust Selling His Soul To Mephistopheles by Jan Jansz. Buesem. The price achieved of USD 25,000.00 (€ 17,214.07) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Jansz. Buesem - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A couple standing by pots and pans in a stable, boors smoking and drinking at tables beyond, which sold at auction in May 2000 for USD 37,600.00 (€ 40,308.75).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2011 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Old Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Faust Selling His Soul To Mephistopheles von Jan Jansz. Buesem zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 17.214,07) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Jansz. Buesem mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A couple standing by pots and pans in a stable, boors smoking and drinking at tables beyond beobachtet, die im Mai 2000 für USD 37.600,00 (€ 40.308,75) versteigert wurde.
