Here, the upper estimate of EUR 900.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for EUR 1,015.75.

Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von EUR 900,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für EUR 1.015,75 einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Rien Poortvliet auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Tegen de draad in im Juni 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 5.975,00.
