Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price

When the work Merriment in the tavern by Francesco Peluso was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 700.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 5,250.00 (€ 5,894.31). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francesco Peluso - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Italian An Algerian Caravan At Rest, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 23,750.00 (€ 15,255.65).

Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Merriment in the tavern von Francesco Peluso im März 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 700,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.250,00 (€ 5.894,31) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Francesco Peluso mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Italian An Algerian Caravan At Rest beobachtet, die im April 2008 für USD 23.750,00 (€ 15.255,65) versteigert wurde.
