Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2007 Christies in London held the auction Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints, which included the work Man tied to a Tree by Eros (Allegory of Love?) (B. 25) by Cristofano Robetta. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 3,226.33) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by Cristofano Robetta have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in September 2017 the work Allegorie auf die Macht der Liebe (Ein junger Mann, von Amor an einen Baum gebunden). was auctioned for CHF 4,750.00 (€ 4,150.47).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit Man tied to a Tree by Eros (Allegory of Love?) (B. 25) von Cristofano Robetta zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 3.226,33) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen.
