Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Study Of The Head Of A Young Lady Looking Down by Federico Barocci was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 70,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 221,000.00 (€ 195,748.45). Admittedly, works by Federico Barocci have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Head of Saint John the Evangelist, an oil study for The Entombment of Christ in the church of Santa Croce, Senigallia in January 2009 with an auction result of USD 1,762,500.00 (€ 1,376,522.96).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Study Of The Head Of A Young Lady Looking Down von Federico Barocci im Januar 2015 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 70.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 221.000,00 (€ 195.748,45) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Federico Barocci auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Head of Saint John the Evangelist, an oil study for The Entombment of Christ in the church of Santa Croce, Senigallia im Januar 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.762.500,00 (€ 1.376.522,96).
