Auction result misses estimated price range
In January 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work Theseus Finding The Sword Of His Father Aegeus by Felice Giani for USD 17,500.00 (€ 11,791.66). This price was achieved in the auction The Jeffrey E. Horvitz Collection of Italian Drawings at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 18,000.00 – 22,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Felice Giani have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The garden of the Villa Aldini at Montmorency, with a view of Paris in the distance in July 2002 with an auction result of GBP 35,850.00 (€ 57,182.14).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Januar 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Theseus Finding The Sword Of His Father Aegeus von Felice Giani für USD 17.500,00 (€ 11.791,66) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Jeffrey E. Horvitz Collection of Italian Drawings bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 18.000,00 – 22.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Felice Giani auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The garden of the Villa Aldini at Montmorency, with a view of Paris in the distance im Juli 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 35.850,00 (€ 57.182,14).
