Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Eroici Mari Rossi by Enzo Cucchi was auctioned at Christies in New York in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 302,400.00 (€ 281,800.39). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Enzo Cucchi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Quadro Santo, which sold at auction in June 2006 for GBP 568,000.00 (€ 821,886.53).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Eroici Mari Rossi von Enzo Cucchi im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 302.400,00 (€ 281.800,39) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Enzo Cucchi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Quadro Santo beobachtet, die im Juni 2006 für GBP 568.000,00 (€ 821.886,53) versteigert wurde.
