A top price for Johannes van der Ast - as previously expected
The work Tulips, a rose, carnation, columbine, cyclamen, and creeping bellflower in a wan-li vase on a ledge with a fly by Johannes van der Ast was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2012. The price achieved of USD 722,500.00 (€ 553,512.60) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 600,000.00 – 1,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Tulips, a rose, carnation, columbine, cyclamen, and creeping bellflower in a wan-li vase on a ledge with a fly is the most expensive artwork by Johannes van der Ast that we have observed at auctions so far.

Die Arbeit Tulips, a rose, carnation, columbine, cyclamen, and creeping bellflower in a wan-li vase on a ledge with a fly von Johannes van der Ast kam im Januar 2012 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 722.500,00 (€ 553.512,60) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 600.000,00 – 1.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Tulips, a rose, carnation, columbine, cyclamen, and creeping bellflower in a wan-li vase on a ledge with a fly das teuerste Kunstwerk von Johannes van der Ast, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
