Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Study Of A Right Hand, Playing A Musical Instrument by Ferraù Fenzoni was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,852.70). 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 Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Study Of A Right Hand, Playing A Musical Instrument von Ferraù Fenzoni im Juli 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.852,70) mehr als sechsmal 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).
