Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Design for a ceiling with the apotheosis of the house of Wittelsbach by Carlo Innocenzo Carlone was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in July 2014. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,883.22) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Carlo Innocenzo Carlone have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A bozzetto for a ceiling: Merit crowned by Nobility in September 2005 with an auction result of USD 54,000.00 (€ 44,783.55).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Design for a ceiling with the apotheosis of the house of Wittelsbach von Carlo Innocenzo Carlone wurde im Juli 2014 in der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.883,22) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Carlo Innocenzo Carlone auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A bozzetto for a ceiling: Merit crowned by Nobility im September 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 54.000,00 (€ 44.783,55).
