Upper estimate price exceeded by 80 %.
This artwork by Eugenio Cecconi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2006. In the 19th Century European Art Including Russian Pictures auction, the work The bottle collector sold for GBP 14,400.00 (€ 21,243.04) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eugenio Cecconi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bivacco di cacciatori (1885-1890) in December 2001 with an auction result of ITL 422,750,000.00 (€ 379,957.31).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 80 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Eugenio Cecconi erzielte im September 2006 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 19th Century European Art Including Russian Pictures wurde die Arbeit The bottle collector für GBP 14.400,00 (€ 21.243,04) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eugenio Cecconi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bivacco di cacciatori (1885-1890) im Dezember 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von ITL 422.750.000,00 (€ 379.957,31).
