Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Noli Me Tangere by Francesco Solimena was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2013, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 23,750.00 (€ 27,138.51). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francesco Solimena achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Finding Of Moses in January 2008 with an auction result of USD 825,000.00 (€ 555,892.46).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Noli Me Tangere von Francesco Solimena im Juli 2013 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 23.750,00 (€ 27.138,51) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francesco Solimena erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Finding Of Moses im Januar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 825.000,00 (€ 555.892,46).
