Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Alexander The Great Cutting The Gordian Knot by Cristofano Allori was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2020. The price achieved of USD 5,250.00 (€ 4,732.71) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cristofano Allori achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Judith With The Head Of Holofernes in December 2015 with an auction result of GBP 173,000.00 (€ 234,925.68).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Alexander The Great Cutting The Gordian Knot von Cristofano Allori kam im Januar 2020 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.250,00 (€ 4.732,71) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Cristofano Allori erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Judith With The Head Of Holofernes im Dezember 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 173.000,00 (€ 234.925,68).
