In this small, varied ‘Classic vs. Modern’ auction, lots were auctioned at more than decent prices. Brief report below with hammer prices (excluding commission 25\/ 28%). <\/span><\/h3>\n

Besides some (vanitas) still lifes by among others, Cornelis Gysbrechts (lot 36), an anonymous 16th-century artist (lot 35), Adriaen Van Utrecht (lot 40) and Pieter Van Overschie (lot 37), which went under the hammer for \u20ac 9500, \u20ac 8500, \u20ac 6000 and \u20ac 26.000 respectively, there was also a lot of interest in a few old drawings: a landscape by Paul Bril (lot 1) opened the auction with a nice \u20ac 5500, an anonymous 16th-century study for a relief for Charles V’s palace (lot 10) increased its estimate tenfold (\u20ac 9500) and a design for engraving depicting Infant Ferdinand in Ghent by Cornelis Schut (lot 12) went away doubling the estimate (\u20ac 5000). Finally, the proceeds of a recent discovery at Bernaerts were eagerly awaited: a small, sober ‘breakfast’ by Pieter Claesz, dated 1646, which graced the cover of the printed catalogue at an estimate of \u20ac 60 – 80.000, already attracted interest during the viewing days. Five bidders over the phone pushed the panel to more than four times the estimate to eventually hear it being hammered down at \u20ac 275.000.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”14598″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”13926″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_column_text el_class=”justify”]Among the Asian pieces, partly from the Van Goidsenhoven collection, some striking results were particularly noticeable among the porcelain. For a baluster-shaped vase with figurative decoration, a so-called ‘birthday vase’, carefully estimated at around \u20ac 2000, two Chinese bidders battled for minutes. The piece (lot 118), found a new home over the phone at a stunning \u20ac 88.000. There was also much enthusiasm for a 17th-century Huanghuali Kangzhuo table; estimated at around \u20ac 10-15.000. The rather rare piece of furniture in our region went away smoothly for \u20ac 32.000 (lot 148). As well did a Famille Verte vase (lot 135), which also tripled its estimate with a hammer price of \u20ac 30.000.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”14616″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”14601″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”4\/6″][vc_column_text el_class=”justify”]Apart from the atlas (lot 19), the pair of ‘millefleurs’ from Bruges (lot 42) and a panel by Abraham Govaerts (lot 43) which failed to attract a new buyer, there were some nice results in silver and in Romanticism. A two-eared Parisian coupe in silver by Marc Jacquaert (lot 75) changed owner for \u20ac 6400 (lot 100), an 18th-century soup tureen (lot 99) for \u20ac 3800 and a magisterial ‘Cathedrale d’Anvers’ by Dommershuyzen (lot 75) for \u20ac 7500.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”4\/6″][vc_single_image image=”14604″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_column_text el_class=”justify”]On Wednesday 4 October in the ‘Modern’ section, the hammer fell to \u20ac 150000 for the 1951 dated canvas by Karel Appel (lot 305), immediately the second highest amount in this auction.<\/p>\n

A 1984 bronze sculpture by Salvador Dali (lot 316) found a new home for \u20ac13000, while a buyer had to pay \u20ac 10000 for a landscape by Constant Permeke (lot 295). A canvas by Jef Verheyen (lot 309) in turn brought \u20ac 18000, an untitled canvas by Jean Miotte (lot 306) \u20ac 14000 and Jean Rets’ ‘Nature morte aux cerises’ (lot 304) \u20ac 7500. Two rare assemblages by Paul Joostens went up to \u20ac 10000 (lot 302) and \u20ac 8000 (lot 303) respectively. A classic ‘Fisherman on the lake’ by Isidore Verheyden (lot 240) also fetched a nice hammer price (\u20ac 7500) as well as a landscape by Florent Crabeels (lot 243, res.: \u20ac 3600).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”14607″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”4\/6″][vc_column_text]In addition to several lots of documentation and literature on art and architecture, this ‘Modern’ session also included over 80 lots of Zero-art from the estate of the recently deceased architect Wim Van Opstal with works by Bernard Aubertin (lots 322 and 323, res. : \u20ac 2000 and \u20ac 2200), Jan Schoonhoven (lot 334, res.: \u20ac 3200), Hongyi Zhuang (lot 363, res.: \u20ac 8500) Panamarenko (lot 381, res.: \u20ac 10000) and Jan Henderikse (lot 338, res.: \u20ac 3000).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”14610″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”14613″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
