Auction result well in line with expectations
The work God cursing Cain after the murder of Abel by Benedetto Luti was auctioned at Christies in London in July this year. The price achieved of GBP 10,080.00 (€ 11,760.30) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Benedetto Luti achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Allegory of the Elevation of Cardinal Deacon Oddone Colonna to the Papal Chair as Pope Martin V in January 2000 with an auction result of USD 222,500.00 (€ 228,041.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit God cursing Cain after the murder of Abel von Benedetto Luti kam im Juli diesen Jahres bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.080,00 (€ 11.760,30) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Benedetto Luti erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Allegory of the Elevation of Cardinal Deacon Oddone Colonna to the Papal Chair as Pope Martin V im Januar 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 222.500,00 (€ 228.041,41).
