Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of A Man, Traditionally Identified As A Self-Portrait by Carlo Bugatti was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 21,250.00 (€ 19,686.86). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Carlo Bugatti - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work FAUTEUIL, 1902, which sold at auction in December 2019 for EUR 72,500.00.
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Man, Traditionally Identified As A Self-Portrait von Carlo Bugatti im Januar 2017 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 21.250,00 (€ 19.686,86) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Carlo Bugatti mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit FAUTEUIL, 1902 beobachtet, die im Dezember 2019 für EUR 72.500,00 versteigert wurde.
