Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Continence of Scipio by Simon de Vos was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2002. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 7,050.00 (€ 10,822.10) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Simon de Vos achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Convival Card Game in January 2007 with an auction result of USD 288,000.00 (€ 221,572.55).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit The Continence of Scipio von Simon de Vos kam im Dezember 2002 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 7.050,00 (€ 10.822,10) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Simon de Vos erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Convival Card Game im Januar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 288.000,00 (€ 221.572,55).
