Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of A Gentleman, Bust-Length, Wearing A Feathered Beret by Johann Spilberg was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 47,500.00 (€ 52,730.22). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Johann Spilberg - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of A Young Girl As A Huntress, With Two Hounds In A Landscape, which sold at auction in January 2020 for USD 175,000.00 (€ 157,757.14).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman, Bust-Length, Wearing A Feathered Beret von Johann Spilberg im Mai 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 47.500,00 (€ 52.730,22) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Johann Spilberg mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of A Young Girl As A Huntress, With Two Hounds In A Landscape beobachtet, die im Januar 2020 für USD 175.000,00 (€ 157.757,14) versteigert wurde.
