A top price for Nikolai Astrup - as previously expected
In November 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction 19th Century European Paintings, which included the work Norwegian ålhustunet, Jølster by Nikolai Astrup. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 150,000.00 – 250,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 158,500.00 (€ 190,733.54) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Norwegian ålhustunet, Jølster is the most expensive artwork by Nikolai Astrup that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2013 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 19th Century European Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Norwegian ålhustunet, Jølster von Nikolai Astrup zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 150.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 158.500,00 (€ 190.733,54) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Norwegian ålhustunet, Jølster das teuerste Kunstwerk von Nikolai Astrup, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
