Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Fra Bartolommeo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January 2021. In the Old Master Drawings auction, the work Study of a female head looking to the left sold for USD 163,800.00 (€ 134,981.46) - well above the upper estimate of USD 65,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fra Bartolommeo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Madonna And Child in January 2013 with an auction result of USD 12,962,500.00 (€ 9,542,476.44).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Fra Bartolommeo erzielte im Januar 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Drawings wurde die Arbeit Study of a female head looking to the left für USD 163.800,00 (€ 134.981,46) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 65.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fra Bartolommeo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Madonna And Child im Januar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 12.962.500,00 (€ 9.542.476,44).
