Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Drapery study (recto); Study of a woman, her hands joined in prayer (verso) by Tanzio da Varallo was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 60,000.00 (€ 67,025.35). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tanzio da Varallo - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ecce Homo, which sold at auction in February 2018 for USD 250,000.00 (€ 204,733.44).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Drapery study (recto); Study of a woman, her hands joined in prayer (verso) von Tanzio da Varallo im Dezember 2020 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 60.000,00 (€ 67.025,35) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Tanzio da Varallo mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Ecce Homo beobachtet, die im Februar 2018 für USD 250.000,00 (€ 204.733,44) versteigert wurde.
