A top price for Gentile di Niccolò Massio
When the work Saint Matthew by Gentile di Niccolò Massio was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2009, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 120,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 542,500.00 (€ 423,695.72). This high result makes Saint Matthew the most expensive artwork by Gentile di Niccolò Massio that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Gentile di Niccolò Massio
Als die Arbeit Saint Matthew von Gentile di Niccolò Massio im Januar 2009 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 120.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 542.500,00 (€ 423.695,72) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Saint Matthew zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Gentile di Niccolò Massio, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
