Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Recto: The Head Of Christ Verso: Study For A Flagellation by Benedetto Luti was sold in the Old Master Drawings auction at Sothebys in London in July 2007. The price achieved of GBP 13,200.00 (€ 19,605.05) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 12,000.00 – 16,000.00. 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 Recto: The Head Of Christ Verso: Study For A Flagellation von Benedetto Luti wurde im Juli 2007 in der Auktion Old Master Drawings bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 13.200,00 (€ 19.605,05) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 12.000,00 – 16.000,00 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).
