Sold at the lower estimate price

In April 2017 Christies in New York held the auction Old Masters, which included the work Christ the Redeemer holding the Cross by Willem Key. The result of USD 100,000.00 (€ 91,785.22) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willem Key - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Saint Jerome, which sold at auction in May 2005 for USD 385,600.00 (€ 312,252.00).

Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis

Im April 2017 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Masters durch, in der auch die Arbeit Christ the Redeemer holding the Cross von Willem Key zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 100.000,00 (€ 91.785,22) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Willem Key mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Saint Jerome beobachtet, die im Mai 2005 für USD 385.600,00 (€ 312.252,00) versteigert wurde.
