A top price for Fortunato Fontana - as previously expected
The work A port on the Neopolitan coast by Fortunato Fontana was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2002. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,465.00 (€ 6,906.34) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A port on the Neopolitan coast is the most expensive artwork by Fortunato Fontana that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit A port on the Neopolitan coast von Fortunato Fontana kam im Juni 2002 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.465,00 (€ 6.906,34) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A port on the Neopolitan coast das teuerste Kunstwerk von Fortunato Fontana, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
