Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Triumph Of Scipio Africanus by Apollonio di Giovanni was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2011. Here, the upper estimate of USD 500,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 542,500.00 (€ 395,552.31). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Apollonio di Giovanni - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Battle Before A Walled City, Perhaps The Siege Of Assisi, which sold at auction in January 2008 for USD 1,273,000.00 (€ 857,758.91).
