Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Boten in de sneeuw by Pieter Dupont was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in June 2002, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 450.00 – 600.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 262.90. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pieter Dupont achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A city view with figures at a canal in January 2001 with an auction result of NLG 9,987.50 (€ 4,370.34).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Boten in de sneeuw von Pieter Dupont im Juni 2002 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 450,00 – 600,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 262,90 den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pieter Dupont erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A city view with figures at a canal im Januar 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von NLG 9.987,50 (€ 4.370,34).
