Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Agave, 1951 by Ferruccio Ferroni was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,547.80). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ferruccio Ferroni - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tramonto (Sunset), 1952, which sold at auction in June 2012 for GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,405.15).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Agave, 1951 von Ferruccio Ferroni im Juni 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.547,80) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Ferruccio Ferroni mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Tramonto (Sunset), 1952 beobachtet, die im Juni 2012 für GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.405,15) versteigert wurde.
