The work The American steam yacht Wacouta by Antonio de Simone was sold in the Maritime Art auction at Christies in New York in December 2008. It achieved a price of USD 3,750.00 (€ 2,694.16), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Antonio de Simone - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Royal Thames Yacht Club schooner Marchesa: In Neapolitan waters (illustrated); and In heavy weather, which sold at auction in May 2004 for GBP 4,780.00 (€ 7,171.76).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit The American steam yacht Wacouta von Antonio de Simone wurde im Dezember 2008 in der Auktion Maritime Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 3.750,00 (€ 2.694,16) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. Für andere Arbeiten von Antonio de Simone mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Royal Thames Yacht Club schooner Marchesa: In Neapolitan waters (illustrated); and In heavy weather beobachtet, die im Mai 2004 für GBP 4.780,00 (€ 7.171,76) versteigert wurde.
