Despite a disappointment, a good price for Rumpius
When the work Conchological Studies: Six Plates by Rumpius was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2004, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 3,000.00 – 4,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 2,270.50 (€ 1,847.14). Despite this disappointing result, Conchological Studies: Six Plates is the most expensive artwork by Rumpius that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Rumpius
Als die Arbeit Conchological Studies: Six Plates von Rumpius im März 2004 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 2.270,50 (€ 1.847,14) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Conchological Studies: Six Plates das teuerste Kunstwerk von Rumpius, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
