Pieter Verelst (Dordrecht 1618-c. 1678 Hulst)
The Sense of Touch; and The Sense of Taste
oil on canvas
6 7/8 x 5½ in. (17.5 x 14 cm.)
two (2)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 31 %.

In April 2002 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Pictures, which included the work The Sense of Touch; and The Sense of Taste by Pieter Verelst. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 13,145.00 (€ 21,268.27), 31% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pieter Verelst achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The head of a young boy in December 2000 with an auction result of GBP 212,750.00 (€ 338,908.85).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 31 % übertroffen

Im April 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Sense of Touch; and The Sense of Taste von Pieter Verelst zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 13.145,00 (€ 21.268,27) und damit 31% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pieter Verelst erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The head of a young boy im Dezember 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 212.750,00 (€ 338.908,85).
