Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.
In January 2008 Sothebys in New York held the auction The Jeffrey E. Horvitz Collection of Italian Drawings, which included the work Cupid Introducing Psyche To Jupiter by Andrea Appiani. The »bidding war« ended at USD 55,000.00 (€ 37,059.50), 38% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Andrea Appiani achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), as First Consul, three-quarter-length, holding a sabre in June 2004 with an auction result of USD 769,100.00 (€ 631,496.84).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen
Im Januar 2008 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion The Jeffrey E. Horvitz Collection of Italian Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cupid Introducing Psyche To Jupiter von Andrea Appiani zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 55.000,00 (€ 37.059,50) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Andrea Appiani erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), as First Consul, three-quarter-length, holding a sabre im Juni 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 769.100,00 (€ 631.496,84).
