Despite a disappointment, a good price for Pierre Joseph Wallaert
When the work A shipwreck in stormy seas with survivors on a rocky outcrop, a lighthouse beyond by Pierre Joseph Wallaert was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2000, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 35,000.00 – 45,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 19,975.00 (€ 21,414.02). Despite this disappointing result, A shipwreck in stormy seas with survivors on a rocky outcrop, a lighthouse beyond is the most expensive artwork by Pierre Joseph Wallaert that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Pierre Joseph Wallaert
Als die Arbeit A shipwreck in stormy seas with survivors on a rocky outcrop, a lighthouse beyond von Pierre Joseph Wallaert im Mai 2000 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 35.000,00 – 45.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 19.975,00 (€ 21.414,02) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist A shipwreck in stormy seas with survivors on a rocky outcrop, a lighthouse beyond das teuerste Kunstwerk von Pierre Joseph Wallaert, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
