Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Yachts At Anchor, A View Of Rotterdam Beyond by Lieve Pietersz. Verschuier was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 47,500.00 (€ 65,228.45). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lieve Pietersz. Verschuier - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sailors unloading cargo from a sailing vessel, moored on a Mediterranean shore, with a rowing boat and a three-master beyond, at dawn, which sold at auction in May 2000 for NLG 304,252.00 (€ 132,849.31).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Yachts At Anchor, A View Of Rotterdam Beyond von Lieve Pietersz. Verschuier im April 2015 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 47.500,00 (€ 65.228,45) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Lieve Pietersz. Verschuier mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sailors unloading cargo from a sailing vessel, moored on a Mediterranean shore, with a rowing boat and a three-master beyond, at dawn beobachtet, die im Mai 2000 für NLG 304.252,00 (€ 132.849,31) versteigert wurde.
