Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2014 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors including The Collection of the Late Serge Baillache, which included the work Bathing Tigers by Willem Sternberg De Beer. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,304.44) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willem Sternberg De Beer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Snow Leopard in the Himalayas, which sold at auction in November 2007 for USD 10,625.00 (€ 7,233.80).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors including The Collection of the Late Serge Baillache durch, in der auch die Arbeit Bathing Tigers von Willem Sternberg De Beer zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.304,44) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Willem Sternberg De Beer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Snow Leopard in the Himalayas beobachtet, die im November 2007 für USD 10.625,00 (€ 7.233,80) versteigert wurde.
