A top price for Bartolomeo Vivarini
When the work Madonna And Child by Bartolomeo Vivarini was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 194,500.00 (€ 148,711.68). This high result makes Madonna And Child the most expensive artwork by Bartolomeo Vivarini that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Bartolomeo Vivarini
Als die Arbeit Madonna And Child von Bartolomeo Vivarini im Februar 2013 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 194.500,00 (€ 148.711,68) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Madonna And Child zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Bartolomeo Vivarini, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
