Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait of Doctor Lepore of Naples, three-quater-length, in a burgundy hat, a landscape beyond by Carlo Siviero was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,251.52). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Carlo Siviero - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Officine; Le Macchine, which sold at auction in December 2008 for EUR 8,125.00.
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait of Doctor Lepore of Naples, three-quater-length, in a burgundy hat, a landscape beyond von Carlo Siviero im April 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.251,52) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Carlo Siviero mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Officine; Le Macchine beobachtet, die im Dezember 2008 für EUR 8.125,00 versteigert wurde.
