Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A sybil in a white turban by Francesco Cairo was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 75,600.00 (€ 67,427.76). Admittedly, works by Francesco Cairo have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Le Départ du fils prodigue in March 2015 with an auction result of EUR 409,500.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A sybil in a white turban von Francesco Cairo im Januar letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 75.600,00 (€ 67.427,76) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Francesco Cairo auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Le Départ du fils prodigue im März 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 409.500,00.
