Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.
In November 2008 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction Old Master Pictures, which included the work A lobster, grapes, hazelnuts, a cut lemon and shrimp on a silver plate, grapes, peaches, plums, and cherries on a 'tazza' and strawberries in a porcelain bowl, on a partially draped table by Pseudo-Simons. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 16,250.00 35% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Pseudo-Simons have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Grapes on the vine, plums, apples, pears and other fruit and flowers all in a wicker basket, a red squirrel eating acorns, a partially peeled lemon on a silver dish with cherries, oranges and figs on a stone table ledge; and Grapes on the vine, plums in June 2002 with an auction result of GBP 47,800.00 (€ 73,935.78).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
Im November 2008 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion Old Master Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit A lobster, grapes, hazelnuts, a cut lemon and shrimp on a silver plate, grapes, peaches, plums, and cherries on a 'tazza' and strawberries in a porcelain bowl, on a partially draped table von Pseudo-Simons zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 16.250,00 und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Pseudo-Simons auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Grapes on the vine, plums, apples, pears and other fruit and flowers all in a wicker basket, a red squirrel eating acorns, a partially peeled lemon on a silver dish with cherries, oranges and figs on a stone table ledge; and Grapes on the vine, plums im Juni 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 47.800,00 (€ 73.935,78).
