Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March this year Bonhams held the auction 19th Century and British Impressionist Art, which included the work Una catastrophe by Gaetano Chierici. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 100,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 113,700.00 (€ 129,355.71). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gaetano Chierici - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work L'ultimo nato, which sold at auction in June 2002 for GBP 248,650.00 (€ 384,605.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im März diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion 19th Century and British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Una catastrophe von Gaetano Chierici zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 100.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 113.700,00 (€ 129.355,71) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Gaetano Chierici mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit L'ultimo nato beobachtet, die im Juni 2002 für GBP 248.650,00 (€ 384.605,24) versteigert wurde.
