Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2006 a collector was able to acquire the work A Section of the main Street of the Fatimid area of al-Qahira (the heart of historic Cairo) with the Mosque of al-Fakahani (Mosque of the Fruit Sellers) on the left by Augusto Lovatti for USD 9,600.00 (€ 7,515.85). This price was achieved in the auction Orientalist Art, 19th Century European Art at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Augusto Lovatti - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Farmgirls Walking On The Cliff Tops, Capri, which sold at auction in July 2001 for GBP 11,162.50 (€ 18,177.33).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2006 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit A Section of the main Street of the Fatimid area of al-Qahira (the heart of historic Cairo) with the Mosque of al-Fakahani (Mosque of the Fruit Sellers) on the left von Augusto Lovatti für USD 9.600,00 (€ 7.515,85) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Orientalist Art, 19th Century European Art bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Augusto Lovatti mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Farmgirls Walking On The Cliff Tops, Capri beobachtet, die im Juli 2001 für GBP 11.162,50 (€ 18.177,33) versteigert wurde.
