Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2002 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction PICTURES, WATERCOLOURS & DRAWINGS INCLUDING FLOWER PICTURES, which included the work Houses and ruins among blossoming trees by Otto B. de Kat. It changed hands for a price of EUR 1,912.00 achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of EUR 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Otto B. de Kat - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work De ronde tafel - Ukkel, which sold at auction in November 2003 for EUR 7,528.50.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2002 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion PICTURES, WATERCOLOURS & DRAWINGS INCLUDING FLOWER PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit Houses and ruins among blossoming trees von Otto B. de Kat zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von EUR 1.912,00 den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von EUR 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Otto B. de Kat mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit De ronde tafel - Ukkel beobachtet, die im November 2003 für EUR 7.528,50 versteigert wurde.
