Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2001 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction MARITIME PICTURES, MODELS AND EPHEMERA INCLUDING GLOBES, which included the work In distress by Rein Miedema. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of EUR 900.00 – 1,400.00, the actual price achieved of EUR 940.00 could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Rein Miedema - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work In still waters at dusk, which sold at auction in January 2003 for GBP 1,292.50 (€ 1,979.61).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2001 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion MARITIME PICTURES, MODELS AND EPHEMERA INCLUDING GLOBES durch, in der auch die Arbeit In distress von Rein Miedema zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 900,00 – 1.400,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von EUR 940,00 konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Rein Miedema mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit In still waters at dusk beobachtet, die im Januar 2003 für GBP 1.292,50 (€ 1.979,61) versteigert wurde.
