Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Moses rescued from the Nile (Bartsch 2) by Bartolomeo Biscaino was sold in the Old Master & Decorative, Modern & Contemporary Prints auction at Christies in London in December 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,125.00 (€ 1,305.00) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bartolomeo Biscaino achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Volumnia with her sons before Coriolanus, the Castel Sant'Angelo beyond in July 2005 with an auction result of GBP 84,000.00 (€ 121,841.21).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Moses rescued from the Nile (Bartsch 2) von Bartolomeo Biscaino wurde im Dezember 2010 in der Auktion Old Master & Decorative, Modern & Contemporary Prints bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.125,00 (€ 1.305,00) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bartolomeo Biscaino erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Volumnia with her sons before Coriolanus, the Castel Sant'Angelo beyond im Juli 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 84.000,00 (€ 121.841,21).
