Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Jan Wittenberg achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Amsterdam in January 2002. In the PICTURES WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS auction, the work A young magpie sold for EUR 8,225.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Wittenberg - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A still life with white rhodondendrons in a small blue vase, which sold at auction in November 2000 for NLG 46,808.00 (€ 21,928.80).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jan Wittenberg erzielte im Januar 2002 bei Christies in Amsterdam einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion PICTURES WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS wurde die Arbeit A young magpie für EUR 8.225,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 3.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jan Wittenberg mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A still life with white rhodondendrons in a small blue vase beobachtet, die im November 2000 für NLG 46.808,00 (€ 21.928,80) versteigert wurde.
