Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In February 2013 Sothebys in New York held the auction Important Old Master Paintings and Sculpture, which included the work The Madonna And Child Before A Red Curtain by Bartolomeo Vivarini. Here, the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 80,500.00 (€ 61,549.05). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bartolomeo Vivarini - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Madonna And Child, which sold at auction in February 2013 for USD 194,500.00 (€ 148,711.68).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Februar 2013 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Important Old Master Paintings and Sculpture durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Madonna And Child Before A Red Curtain von Bartolomeo Vivarini zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 80.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 80.500,00 (€ 61.549,05) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Bartolomeo Vivarini mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Madonna And Child beobachtet, die im Februar 2013 für USD 194.500,00 (€ 148.711,68) versteigert wurde.
