Estimate: 2.000 - 3.000 GBP
Price realised: 11.750 GBP
Julius Adam II (1852 - 1913)
Kittens at play
signed 'Jul. Adam' (upper middle)
oil on canvas
9½ x 13¾ in. (24.2 x 35.1 cm.)

Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Kittens at play by Julius II Adam was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 11,750.00 (€ 18,697.95). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Julius II Adam; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Friendly shelter sold at auction in November 2001 with the realized price of GBP 16,450.00 (€ 26,177.13).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Kittens at play von Julius II Adam im November 2001 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 11.750,00 (€ 18.697,95) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Julius II Adam; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Friendly shelter im November 2001 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 16.450,00 (€ 26.177,13).
