A top price for Peter de Kempeneer
When the work Figures unearthing a corpse, with other figures in the background, a city beyond by Peter de Kempeneer was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2002, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 88,125.00 (€ 102,542.47). This high result makes Figures unearthing a corpse, with other figures in the background, a city beyond the most expensive artwork by Peter de Kempeneer that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Peter de Kempeneer
Als die Arbeit Figures unearthing a corpse, with other figures in the background, a city beyond von Peter de Kempeneer im Januar 2002 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 88.125,00 (€ 102.542,47) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Figures unearthing a corpse, with other figures in the background, a city beyond zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Peter de Kempeneer, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
