Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price

When the work The Bay of Naples from Castel Sant'Elmo, Vesuvius seen in the distance by Johann Jakob Ulrich was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 400.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 2,629.00 (€ 3,720.76). Admittedly, works by Johann Jakob Ulrich have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Blick auf den Thunersee. 1837. in June 2016 with an auction result of CHF 18,500.00 (€ 17,124.91).

Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The Bay of Naples from Castel Sant'Elmo, Vesuvius seen in the distance von Johann Jakob Ulrich im Dezember 2004 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 400,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.629,00 (€ 3.720,76) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Johann Jakob Ulrich auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Blick auf den Thunersee. 1837. im Juni 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von CHF 18.500,00 (€ 17.124,91).
