Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Mocking Of Christ by Antonio de Bellis was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 53,125.00 (€ 40,618.55). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Antonio de Bellis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Saint Catherine Of Alexandria, which sold at auction in December 2019 for GBP 100,000.00 (€ 118,188.30).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Mocking Of Christ von Antonio de Bellis im Februar 2013 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 53.125,00 (€ 40.618,55) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Antonio de Bellis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Saint Catherine Of Alexandria beobachtet, die im Dezember 2019 für GBP 100.000,00 (€ 118.188,30) versteigert wurde.
