Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In April 2002 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction 19TH CENTURY EUROPEAN ART, which included the work Figures passing Chinese graves in an Indonesian landscape, probably near Malang by Maurits van den Kerkhoff. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 9,560.00 20% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Maurits van den Kerkhoff - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work View of a kampong with possibly the Smeroe in the background, which sold at auction in April 2010 for EUR 22,500.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im April 2002 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion 19TH CENTURY EUROPEAN ART durch, in der auch die Arbeit Figures passing Chinese graves in an Indonesian landscape, probably near Malang von Maurits van den Kerkhoff zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 9.560,00 und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Maurits van den Kerkhoff mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit View of a kampong with possibly the Smeroe in the background beobachtet, die im April 2010 für EUR 22.500,00 versteigert wurde.
