Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work View of the hostel on the Grimsel Pass, Switzerland by Jean-Antoine Linck was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 5,625.00 (€ 6,721.87). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean-Antoine Linck - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work View Of The Alps From Saint-Gervais-Les-Bains, With The 'Aiguilles De Tré-La-Tête'; And View Of The Alps From Magland, With The North Slope Of The Mont-Blanc Massif, which sold at auction in December 2014 for GBP 20,000.00 (€ 25,746.63).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit View of the hostel on the Grimsel Pass, Switzerland von Jean-Antoine Linck im November 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.625,00 (€ 6.721,87) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jean-Antoine Linck mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit View Of The Alps From Saint-Gervais-Les-Bains, With The 'Aiguilles De Tré-La-Tête'; And View Of The Alps From Magland, With The North Slope Of The Mont-Blanc Massif beobachtet, die im Dezember 2014 für GBP 20.000,00 (€ 25.746,63) versteigert wurde.
