Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Landscape With Buildings And Figures Near A Bridge by Giacomo Quarenghi 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 9,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 37,500.00 (€ 29,287.72). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giacomo Quarenghi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for 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, which sold at auction in November 2005 for GBP 60,000.00 (€ 88,147.58).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Landscape With Buildings And Figures Near A Bridge von Giacomo Quarenghi 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 9.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 37.500,00 (€ 29.287,72) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Giacomo Quarenghi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für 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 beobachtet, die im November 2005 für GBP 60.000,00 (€ 88.147,58) versteigert wurde.
