A top price for Willem Witjens - as previously expected
In February 2008 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction Topographical Observations: Picture your world, which included the work Castle Zuylestein, Leersum by Willem Witjens. The price achieved of EUR 3,000.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Castle Zuylestein, Leersum is the most expensive artwork by Willem Witjens that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Februar 2008 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion Topographical Observations: Picture your world durch, in der auch die Arbeit Castle Zuylestein, Leersum von Willem Witjens zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 3.000,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Castle Zuylestein, Leersum das teuerste Kunstwerk von Willem Witjens, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
