A top price for Antonio Allegri - as previously expected

The work Saint Mary Magdalen reading by Antonio Allegri was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year. It changed hands for a price of USD 5,319,600.00 (€ 4,744,559.40) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 4,500,000.00 – 5,500,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Saint Mary Magdalen reading is the most expensive artwork by Antonio Allegri that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Saint Mary Magdalen reading von Antonio Allegri kam im Januar letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 5.319.600,00 (€ 4.744.559,40) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 4.500.000,00 – 5.500.000,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Saint Mary Magdalen reading das teuerste Kunstwerk von Antonio Allegri, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
