Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Italian The Piazza Santa Toscana And Porta Vescovo, Verona by Carlo Ferrari was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 64,850.00 (€ 78,408.52). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Carlo Ferrari; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Piazza Delle Erbe A Verona sold at auction in December 2008 with the realized price of EUR 147,150.00.
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Italian The Piazza Santa Toscana And Porta Vescovo, Verona von Carlo Ferrari im November 2008 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 64.850,00 (€ 78.408,52) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Carlo Ferrari; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Piazza Delle Erbe A Verona im Dezember 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von EUR 147.150,00.
