Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Giacomo Quarenghi could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in January 2016 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Collection of A. Alfred Taubman: Old Masters auction, the work Plan For The English Garden At Peterhof, On The Outskirts Of St. Petersburg, With An Elevation Of The Empress' Pavilion changed hands for USD 21,250.00 (€ 19,617.80) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 40,000.00. Admittedly, works by Giacomo Quarenghi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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
Dieses Kunstwerk von Giacomo Quarenghi konnte im Januar 2016 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Collection of A. Alfred Taubman: Old Masters wechselte die Arbeit Plan For The English Garden At Peterhof, On The Outskirts Of St. Petersburg, With An Elevation Of The Empress' Pavilion für USD 21.250,00 (€ 19.617,80) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 30.000,00 – 40.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Giacomo Quarenghi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
