Johan Coenraad Altorf

Elephant

Found at Christies, Amsterdam
TWENTIETH CENTURY ART, Lot 144
28. May - 28. May 2002
Estimate: 2.500 - 3.500 EUR
Price realised: 5.019 EUR
Johan Coenraad Altorf (1876-1955)
Elephant
signed with monogram and numbered '7-XII' (on the base)
stoneware
28 cm. high
Conceived circa 1920, and cast by W.C. Brouwer in an edition of twelve (numbered I-XII/XII-XII)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 43 %.

In May 2002 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction TWENTIETH CENTURY ART, which included the work Elephant by Johan Altorf. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 5,019.00 43% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Johan Altorf achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An owl in June 2000 with an auction result of NLG 222,338.00 (€ 94,875.08).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 43 % übertroffen

Im Mai 2002 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion TWENTIETH CENTURY ART durch, in der auch die Arbeit Elephant von Johan Altorf zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 5.019,00 und damit 43% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Johan Altorf erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An owl im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von NLG 222.338,00 (€ 94.875,08).
