Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Crying Portrait Of Wilhelmina As A Renaissance Madonna With Holy Child (After Leonardo) by Francesco Vezzoli was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2015. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 106,250.00 (€ 100,596.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francesco Vezzoli - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Veruschka, which sold at auction in October 2007 for GBP 156,500.00 (€ 224,744.30).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Crying Portrait Of Wilhelmina As A Renaissance Madonna With Holy Child (After Leonardo) von Francesco Vezzoli kam im November 2015 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 106.250,00 (€ 100.596,48) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Francesco Vezzoli mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Veruschka beobachtet, die im Oktober 2007 für GBP 156.500,00 (€ 224.744,30) versteigert wurde.
