Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Haymaker Hanging Piece by Jan Müller was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 25,000.00 (€ 23,368.85). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Müller - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Virgins, which sold at auction in November 2002 for USD 53,775.00 (€ 54,143.17).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Haymaker Hanging Piece von Jan Müller im März 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 25.000,00 (€ 23.368,85) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Müller mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Virgins beobachtet, die im November 2002 für USD 53.775,00 (€ 54.143,17) versteigert wurde.
