Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work The Demolition of the Citadel of Antwerp by Marten van Cleve I was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 70,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 275,000.00 (€ 236,092.03). Admittedly, works by Marten van Cleve I have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work An Outdoor Wedding Dance in July 2016 with an auction result of GBP 1,061,000.00 (€ 1,260,697.53).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The Demolition of the Citadel of Antwerp von Marten van Cleve I im Oktober 2017 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 70.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 275.000,00 (€ 236.092,03) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Marten van Cleve I auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit An Outdoor Wedding Dance im Juli 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.061.000,00 (€ 1.260.697,53).
