Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Jan Mortel could be acquired at Christies in New York in January 2024 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master Paintings and Sculpture: Part II auction, the work A bouquet of peonies, tulips, roses and other flowers on a ledge, with butterflies, a snail and a beetle changed hands for USD 63,000.00 (€ 55,060.30) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Mortel - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Peaches, plums, apricots, grapes, pears, blackberries, sheafs of corn, chestnuts, walnuts, medlars, cherries and a pomegranate with a snail, a butterfly, a grasshopper and a caterpillar by a plinth, which sold at auction in December 2005 for GBP 120,000.00 (€ 174,173.28).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jan Mortel konnte im Januar 2024 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master Paintings and Sculpture: Part II wechselte die Arbeit A bouquet of peonies, tulips, roses and other flowers on a ledge, with butterflies, a snail and a beetle für USD 63.000,00 (€ 55.060,30) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Mortel mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Peaches, plums, apricots, grapes, pears, blackberries, sheafs of corn, chestnuts, walnuts, medlars, cherries and a pomegranate with a snail, a butterfly, a grasshopper and a caterpillar by a plinth beobachtet, die im Dezember 2005 für GBP 120.000,00 (€ 174.173,28) versteigert wurde.
