Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Rest on the Flight into Eygpt by Francesco Solimena was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 15,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 52,500.00 (€ 47,892.72). 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Rest on the Flight into Eygpt von Francesco Solimena im Oktober 2016 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 15.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 52.500,00 (€ 47.892,72) mehr als dreimal so hoch. 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).
