A top price for Pieter Pourbus - as previously expected
In April 2018 Christies in New York held the auction Old Masters Part I, which included the work The Last Supper by Pieter Pourbus. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 300,000.00 – 400,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 324,500.00 (€ 268,759.32) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Last Supper is the most expensive artwork by Pieter Pourbus that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im April 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Masters Part I durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Last Supper von Pieter Pourbus zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 300.000,00 – 400.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 324.500,00 (€ 268.759,32) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Last Supper das teuerste Kunstwerk von Pieter Pourbus, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
