Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A cavalry encounter by Francesco Monti was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 875.00 (€ 974.83). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francesco Monti achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Achille Trascina Il Corpo Di Ettore in November 2010 with an auction result of EUR 34,350.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A cavalry encounter von Francesco Monti im Dezember 2018 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 875,00 (€ 974,83) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francesco Monti erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Achille Trascina Il Corpo Di Ettore im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 34.350,00.
