Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2008 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European Art, which included the work Feeding pigeons by the well by Alberto Prosdocimi. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,750.00 (€ 2,230.62), 17% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alberto Prosdocimi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Venezia, Il Ponte Di Rialto, which sold at auction in June 2001 for EUR 6,125.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Feeding pigeons by the well von Alberto Prosdocimi zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.750,00 (€ 2.230,62) und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Alberto Prosdocimi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Venezia, Il Ponte Di Rialto beobachtet, die im Juni 2001 für EUR 6.125,00 versteigert wurde.
