Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Birth Of The Virgin by Biagio Pupini was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 7,000.00 – 9,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 6,250.00 (€ 8,860.40). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Biagio Pupini - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Christ among the doctors, which sold at auction in October 2021 for USD 27,500.00 (€ 23,805.40).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Birth Of The Virgin von Biagio Pupini im Juli 2015 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 9.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 6.250,00 (€ 8.860,40) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Biagio Pupini mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Christ among the doctors beobachtet, die im Oktober 2021 für USD 27.500,00 (€ 23.805,40) versteigert wurde.
