Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2009 Sothebys in Amsterdam held the auction 19th Century European Paintings and Modern & Contemporary Art, which included the work Dutch Fishing Eel by Nicolaas Riegen. The price achieved of EUR 6,250.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nicolaas Riegen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A calm: fishermen inspecting their catch, which sold at auction in April 2003 for EUR 17,925.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2009 führte Sothebys in Amsterdam die Auktion 19th Century European Paintings and Modern & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Dutch Fishing Eel von Nicolaas Riegen zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 6.250,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Nicolaas Riegen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A calm: fishermen inspecting their catch beobachtet, die im April 2003 für EUR 17.925,00 versteigert wurde.
