Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Collecting fruits of the forest; and The woodland pool by Francesco Capuano was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,125.00 (€ 1,297.14). Other works by Francesco Capuano have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in November 2002 by the work Contadino nel bosco at EUR 2,480.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Collecting fruits of the forest; and The woodland pool von Francesco Capuano im Oktober 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.125,00 (€ 1.297,14) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Francesco Capuano wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im November 2002 die Arbeit Contadino nel bosco mit EUR 2.480,00.
