Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In January 2012 Sothebys in New York held the auction Important Old Master Paintings and Sculpture, which included the work The Crucifixion by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. Here, the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 83,500.00 (€ 63,969.97). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Christ the Man of Sorrows in December 2005 with an auction result of GBP 2,472,000.00 (€ 3,587,969.60).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Januar 2012 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Important Old Master Paintings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Crucifixion von Bartolomé Esteban Murillo zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 80.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 83.500,00 (€ 63.969,97) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bartolomé Esteban Murillo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Christ the Man of Sorrows im Dezember 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.472.000,00 (€ 3.587.969,60).
