A top price for Federico Bencovich - as previously expected
The work God Separating Light From Darkness by Federico Bencovich was sold in the Important Old Master Paintings and European Works of Art auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 90,000.00 (€ 69,241.42) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, God Separating Light From Darkness is the most expensive artwork by Federico Bencovich that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit God Separating Light From Darkness von Federico Bencovich wurde im Januar 2007 in der Auktion Important Old Master Paintings and European Works of Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 90.000,00 (€ 69.241,42) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist God Separating Light From Darkness das teuerste Kunstwerk von Federico Bencovich, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
