In September 2005 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction PICTURES WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS, which included the work Preludium by Willy Boers. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 2,280.00 52% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willy Boers - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pseudozoisch (schijnbaar dierlijk), which sold at auction in September 2001 for EUR 5,170.00.

Im September 2005 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion PICTURES WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Preludium von Willy Boers zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 2.280,00 und damit 52% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Willy Boers mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pseudozoisch (schijnbaar dierlijk) beobachtet, die im September 2001 für EUR 5.170,00 versteigert wurde.
