This artwork by Rachel Ruysch achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in June 2014. In the Old Master Paintings auction, the work Peaches, Grapes, And Plums With A Dragonfly, Snail, Caterpillar, Moths, And Other Insects On A Stone Ledge sold for USD 118,750.00 (€ 86,742.15) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rachel Ruysch achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Still Life Of Roses, Tulips, A Sunflower And Other Flowers In A Glass Vase With A Bee, Butterfly And Other Insects Upon A Marble Ledge in July 2013 with an auction result of GBP 1,650,500.00 (€ 1,885,983.93).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 98 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Rachel Ruysch erzielte im Juni 2014 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Paintings wurde die Arbeit Peaches, Grapes, And Plums With A Dragonfly, Snail, Caterpillar, Moths, And Other Insects On A Stone Ledge für USD 118.750,00 (€ 86.742,15) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rachel Ruysch erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Still Life Of Roses, Tulips, A Sunflower And Other Flowers In A Glass Vase With A Bee, Butterfly And Other Insects Upon A Marble Ledge im Juli 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.650.500,00 (€ 1.885.983,93).
