Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work A Cavalry Battle by Ferraù Fenzoni was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 10,200.00 (€ 14,931.60). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ferraù Fenzoni achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Pool of Bethesda (recto); A subsidiary study of the lower right group and of the figure of Christ (verso) in January 2000 with an auction result of USD 200,500.00 (€ 205,493.49).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A Cavalry Battle von Ferraù Fenzoni im Juli 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.200,00 (€ 14.931,60) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ferraù Fenzoni erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Pool of Bethesda (recto); A subsidiary study of the lower right group and of the figure of Christ (verso) im Januar 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 200.500,00 (€ 205.493,49).
