Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a black suit, white shirt and chequered bow tie by Cesare Saccaggi was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 250.00 (€ 314.06). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cesare Saccaggi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Girls In A Meadow in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 9,600.00 (€ 14,256.30).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a black suit, white shirt and chequered bow tie von Cesare Saccaggi im März 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 250,00 (€ 314,06) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Cesare Saccaggi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Girls In A Meadow im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 9.600,00 (€ 14.256,30).
