Buonaventura Genelli (Berlin 1798-1868 Weimar)
An allegory of the Greek War of Independence
pencil, pen and brown ink, fragmentary watermark device, the corners cut
7 1/8 x 7¾ in. (182 x 198 mm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work An allegory of the Greek War of Independence by Buonaventura Genelli was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,125.00 (€ 1,429.33) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Buonaventura Genelli achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Akt, nach oben blickend. in November 2014 with an auction result of EUR 26,250.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit An allegory of the Greek War of Independence von Buonaventura Genelli kam im Juli 2008 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.125,00 (€ 1.429,33) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Buonaventura Genelli erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Akt, nach oben blickend. im November 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 26.250,00.
