Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work A Garland Of Flowers And Fruit Around A Stone Niche With Butterflies, A Snake And A Spider by Ottmar Elliger the Elder was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 62,500.00 (€ 69,740.40). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ottmar Elliger the Elder - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Lobster On A White Porcelain Platter With Grapes And A Partly-Peeled Lemon, A Nautilus Cup, A Roemer And Façon-De-Venise Wineglasses, On A Stone Ledge, With A Snail And A Butterfly, which sold at auction in December 2015 for GBP 158,500.00 (€ 215,235.38).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A Garland Of Flowers And Fruit Around A Stone Niche With Butterflies, A Snake And A Spider von Ottmar Elliger the Elder im Juli 2017 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 20.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 62.500,00 (€ 69.740,40) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Ottmar Elliger the Elder mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Lobster On A White Porcelain Platter With Grapes And A Partly-Peeled Lemon, A Nautilus Cup, A Roemer And Façon-De-Venise Wineglasses, On A Stone Ledge, With A Snail And A Butterfly beobachtet, die im Dezember 2015 für GBP 158.500,00 (€ 215.235,38) versteigert wurde.
