A top price for Johann Heinrich Müntz - as previously expected
In July 2006 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Pictures, which included the work An Extensive River Landscape With A Peasant Man Fishing; And An Extensive Landscape With Cattle By A River by Johann Heinrich Müntz. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,160.00 (€ 3,161.99) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, An Extensive River Landscape With A Peasant Man Fishing; And An Extensive Landscape With Cattle By A River is the most expensive artwork by Johann Heinrich Müntz that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juli 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit An Extensive River Landscape With A Peasant Man Fishing; And An Extensive Landscape With Cattle By A River von Johann Heinrich Müntz zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.160,00 (€ 3.161,99) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist An Extensive River Landscape With A Peasant Man Fishing; And An Extensive Landscape With Cattle By A River das teuerste Kunstwerk von Johann Heinrich Müntz, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
