Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2013 Christies in London held the auction 500 Years of Printmaking, which included the work The Virgin Nursing The Infant Christ (Bartsch 21) by Bartolomeo Biscaino. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 800.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 875.00 (€ 1,052.49). 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2013 führte Christies in London die Auktion 500 Years of Printmaking durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Virgin Nursing The Infant Christ (Bartsch 21) von Bartolomeo Biscaino zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 875,00 (€ 1.052,49) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
