Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Christ Carrying The Cross by Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 200,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 722,500.00 (€ 526,795.48). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Madonna of the Magnificat in November last year with an auction result of USD 48,480,000.00 (€ 46,963,092.12).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Christ Carrying The Cross von Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi im Januar 2011 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 200.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 722.500,00 (€ 526.795,48) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Madonna of the Magnificat im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 48.480.000,00 (€ 46.963.092,12).
