Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work The ruins of Heusden Castle by Valentijn Klotz was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 3,840.00 (€ 5,699.04). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Valentijn Klotz - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work View Of A Watermill Near Maastricht, which sold at auction in July 2010 for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,775.37).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The ruins of Heusden Castle von Valentijn Klotz im Dezember 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.840,00 (€ 5.699,04) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Valentijn Klotz mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit View Of A Watermill Near Maastricht beobachtet, die im Juli 2010 für GBP 10.625,00 (€ 12.775,37) versteigert wurde.
