Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Alexander Palace by Giacomo Quarenghi was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2014, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 4,000.00 (€ 5,029.10). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giacomo Quarenghi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Four views of Bakhchiserai in the Crimea: Houses along the river; The walls of a mosque; A lane with a view of mountains; and A mosque among trees in November 2005 with an auction result of GBP 60,000.00 (€ 88,147.58).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Alexander Palace von Giacomo Quarenghi im November 2014 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 4.000,00 (€ 5.029,10) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giacomo Quarenghi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Four views of Bakhchiserai in the Crimea: Houses along the river; The walls of a mosque; A lane with a view of mountains; and A mosque among trees im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 60.000,00 (€ 88.147,58).
