In May 2000 Christies in New York held the auction Important Old Master Paintings, which included the work The Assumption of the Virgin by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini. The »bidding war« ended at USD 30,550.00 (€ 32,750.86), 39% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Bathsheba at her toilet in April 2007 with an auction result of USD 216,000.00 (€ 158,125.92).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2000 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important Old Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Assumption of the Virgin von Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 30.550,00 (€ 32.750,86) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Bathsheba at her toilet im April 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 216.000,00 (€ 158.125,92).
