Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Manca Bee by Johan Altorf was sold in the Twentieth Century Art including Belgian Art auction at Christies in Amsterdam in June 2003. The price achieved of EUR 9,560.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Admittedly, works by Johan Altorf have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work An owl in June 2000 with an auction result of NLG 222,338.00 (€ 94,875.08).

Die Arbeit Manca Bee von Johan Altorf wurde im Juni 2003 in der Auktion Twentieth Century Art including Belgian Art bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert.

Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Johan Altorf auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit An owl im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von NLG 222.338,00 (€ 94.875,08).
