Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Carlo Cignani could be acquired at Christies in New York in May 2001 for an unexpectedly low price. In the OLD MASTER PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS AND FRAMES auction, the work A putto holding an urn changed hands for USD 1,880.00 (€ 2,223.54) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Carlo Cignani achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Allegory of the Five Senses in January last year with an auction result of USD 327,600.00 (€ 292,186.94).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Carlo Cignani konnte im Mai 2001 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion OLD MASTER PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS AND FRAMES wechselte die Arbeit A putto holding an urn für USD 1.880,00 (€ 2.223,54) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Carlo Cignani erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An Allegory of the Five Senses im Januar letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 327.600,00 (€ 292.186,94).
