Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Three Sisters Of Lucca by Alberto Morrocco was sold in the Scottish Art auction at Sothebys in London in November 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 44,100.00 (€ 49,230.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alberto Morrocco - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Grande Natura Morta Napolitana, which sold at auction in August 2006 for GBP 98,400.00 (€ 146,327.02).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Three Sisters Of Lucca von Alberto Morrocco wurde im November 2020 in der Auktion Scottish Art bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 44.100,00 (€ 49.230,48) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Alberto Morrocco mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Grande Natura Morta Napolitana beobachtet, die im August 2006 für GBP 98.400,00 (€ 146.327,02) versteigert wurde.
